Abstract
Cooperative Educational Service Agencies are intermediate service agencies that provide programs, services, and resources to a region of school districts in the state of Wisconsin. This dataset was assembled using county-derived school district boundary data and school district information from the Department of Public Instruction website. Each year, there is a chance for reorganizations to take place that either transfer territory between school districts or consolidate/dissolve/create districts. These reorganizations go into effect on July 1st of each year. Sometimes reorganizations involve CESA boundaries as territory transfers between school districts located in two different CESAs. In 2019, there were no reorganizations that caused changes to CESA boundaries.Version 2.0 and all versions from 2017 contain an error where the Mount Horeb Area School District was attributed to CESA 3 instead of 2. This error was corrected in version 2.1 and is correct in all layers since.
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [This polygon dataset contains the twelve Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESA) in the state of Wisconsin in 2019.]

Data Quality Information

Lineage
Statement
This layer is the result of aggregation procedures implemented over school district boundary data provided by Wisconsin's 72 counties. Each public school district in Wisconsin is located in one of twelve Cooperative Educational Service Agencies. CESA attribute information was included in the Unified School Districts Wisconsin 2018 and Secondary School District Wisconsin 2018 layers. The two layers were merged into a single layer and then dissolved based on CESA number resulting in this final layer.
