Mission Statement

COOR ISD provides programs and services with our partners to support the current and emerging teaching and learning needs of our schools and communities.

Vision Statement

The Vision of the COOR ISD is to be the leader for excellence in the continuum of services supporting programs within the schools and communities we serve.

Strategic Planning

The Board of Education adopted a new mission and vision statements created at the planning session in January 2018. The Administration team is detailing action steps to implement each of the goal statements identified by the group of stakeholders.

Goal Statements

Academic/Programs  

Enhance programs and services that directly improve achievement in all areas. 

Communications/Community Engagement  

Develop and implement a communication plan that engages and encompasses all external stakeholders  

Learning Environment/Culture  

Improve relationships with community partners. 

Personnel/Leadership 

Develop and implement a recruitment and retention plan for all staff. 

Operations/Finance 

Develop and implement a prioritized resource plan to expand programs and services.  

Constituent Districts

COOR ISD  includes the counties of Crawford, Oscoda, Ogemaw and Roscommon, an area covering 2400 square miles. Within this area, COOR serves six local public school districts and two Public School Academies (see "District Map" to the right): 

External LinkCrawford-AuSable Schools
External LinkMio AuSable Schools
External LinkFairview Area Schools
External LinkHoughton Lake Community Schools
External LinkRoscommon Area Public Schools 
External LinkWest Branch-Rose City Schools
External LinkCharlton Heston Academy
External LinkAlternative Educational Academy of Ogemaw County

The ISD collects and monitors data that is required by the Michigan Department of Education and works with local districts to ensure that the type and nature of services needed within our area are properly represented at the state level.

The services that the ISD provides allow local school districts regardless of size to have access to quality personnel, services and programs that they could not afford individually. This prevents unnecessary duplication and better use of state and local money through the sharing of resources.
