Wayne RESA is a regional educational service agency that provides a broad range of services and support to Wayne County's 33 school districts aimed at improving student achievement and maximizing economies of scale in staff development, purchasing, and administrative services.

Wayne RESA is the Intermediate School District (ISD) for Wayne County, Michigan.

What is an ISD?

ISDs — which sometimes go by the name Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) or Educational Service Agency (ESA) — work with local school districts, the Michigan Department of Education, business and industry and community groups. Each ISD works with its local school districts to develop the mix of products and programs to maximize benefits for that area. ISDs increase cost savings for schools, expand educational opportunities, provide professional learning for teachers, and much more.

Visit the MAISA website to learn more about the value of Michigan ISDs.
