Meet Michael Jaramillo!

Michael is our Lead Maintenance Technician (Bell Campus). There's a lot that goes into his job, it's a BIG BUILDING!
He shared that, "Region 16 is a great place to work, it's family oriented, they work with your schedule. I enjoy meeting people and helping people everyday."

Follow along as we introduce you to more of our Region 16 team members and go throughout the year!

Our 2025-26 Annual Report is live! Behind every metric in this report is a teacher and staff member in one of our schools who received world-class training, a superintendent, principal, counselor, or nurse who found a trusted partner, and a student who was given a better opportunity to succeed.

Check it the full report here: https://r16.us/26-26AR

We are thrilled to launch our new Teacher of the Month program for the school year! In partnership with Chick-fil-A South Coulter Street, this initiative is dedicated to honoring the hard work, passion, and extraordinary contributions of educators across our region.

Starting this month, we will highlight one outstanding teacher each month who goes above and beyond for their students, school, and community.

Know an educator who deserves the spotlight? Submit your nomination here: https://r16.us/CFATeacher

To be considered, the educator must be a current employee of a school district within Region 16.

Check out our Early Childhood Intervention Program ⬇️⬇️

Did you know that Region 16 ESC has a program dedicated to helping babies and toddlers grow and thrive right from the start?

It’s called Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), and it’s designed specifically for families with babies and toddlers (birth to age 3) who have developmental delays, disabilities, or certain medical diagnoses.

Here is what makes ECI so unique:

🏠 Real-World Coaching: Services are provided right in the child’s natural environment, like your home or daycare, so skills are learned during everyday routines.

🫶 Family-Centered: ECI professionals work alongside parents and caregivers, providing the tools and confidence to support your child’s growth every single day.

🧩 Tailored Support: Depending on the child's needs, services can include physical therapy, speech therapy, specialized skills training, occupational therapy, and more.

Don't wait and see! If you have questions about how your child is walking, talking, eating, or playing, reaching out early makes all the difference.

Anyone can make a referral so no need to wait on a medical provider or anyone else.

Let's work together to give every child in Region 16 the strongest possible start.

Call 806-677-5228 to get started or complete the referral link!
