Description

The purpose of the Wisconsin Regional Special Education Network (RSN) is to assist local education agencies (LEAs) in improving outcomes for students with advancing academic achievement through targeted technical assistance and by providing leadership, ensuring communication, and disseminating information from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
