Malheur Education Services District

Malheur Education Services District, located at 363 A Street West in Vale, Oregon, is dedicated to improving student outcomes from preschool to college/career readiness. As an Education Service District, their mission is to provide valuable educational opportunities for all students in their service area, working closely with local school districts to meet the needs of the community. The district recently received a grant from the Ford Family Foundation to hire a home visiting coordinator, Tammie Dockter, to coordinate services for families in need. With a focus on reducing child poverty, the district aims to break down barriers between agencies and provide comprehensive support for families facing challenges. Through initiatives like Family Connect, which offers at-home visits for families with newborns, the district is working to connect families with essential services like healthcare, mental health support, and housing assistance. By building relationships with various agencies and promoting community engagement, Malheur Education Services District is working to create a supportive network for families in need.
