Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District | Diversity Employer

Northeast Metro 916 is one of four intermediate school districts in Minnesota, serving nearly 5,000 students through shared programming that includes career and technical education, special education services, area learning centers, and care & treatment. Through sharing resources, talent, and ideas, Northeast Metro 916 provides cost-effective, expert, and reliable services to 13 member school districts and the students and families we collectively support.

Intermediate school districts are specialty school districts that provide defined student services to a group of regular “member” school districts. Minnesota has four Intermediate Districts (916, 917, 287, and 288) that serve more than 20,000 students annually. These four intermediate districts serve 45 member school districts in total.

Education that meets every student's need
Sharing staff and resources is a cost-effective way for traditional school districts to provide highly-specialized educational programs to students, families, and schools.

Intermediates offer more than 120 specialized educational programs and services to school districts in Minnesota. These are often specialized services that the member districts individually find difficult or too costly to provide on a smaller scale. For some services, students are referred by their district of residence. For others, students and parents can choose to enroll directly.

Mission
Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District responds to the unique needs of students, educators, and school districts with innovation, quality, and trusted experience.
