Making education "smarter" for Jackson County since 1963!The Jackson County Intermediate School District is an educational service agency chartered by the State of Michigan to work in collaboration with local public school districts and charter schools. Our mission is focused on improving student success in Jackson County, and we do that by improving the quality of education in Jackson County, making it more cost-efficient, and helping students, parents, educators and community members get the most out of public education.The JCISD employs some of the best, brightest, and most-dedicated educators and professionals in the county. While we aim to fulfill the needs of the districts we serve, at times, we're also counted on to be educational leaders in the community through our programs, services and personnel. This service/leadership role provides us with a diverse, yet well-defined mission.Three of the most visible programs operated by the JCISD are the Jackson Area Career Center (career and technical education), the Lyle A. Torrant Center (special education), and our Educators' Support initiatives, which includes literacy (Reading Recovery, DIBELS, etc.), curriculum and assessment, the Math and Science Center at Camp McGregor, Safe & Drug Free Schools, and Comprehensive Health. These initiatives have a significant impact on educators and the community and are important in helping our school districts accomplish their mission in their communities.
