The organization of school districts in Wisconsin is such that the legislature recognizes the need for a service unit between the school districts and the State Superintendent. The Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESAs) are designed to serve educational needs in all areas of Wisconsin by serving as a link between school districts and between school districts and the state. Cooperative Educational Services Agencies may provide leadership, coordination and education services to school districts, University of Wisconsin System institutions, and technical colleges. Cooperative Educational Services Agencies may facilitate communication and cooperation among all public and private schools, agencies, and organizations that provide services to pupils.
CESA 9 encompasses 22 school districts in north-central Wisconsin, serving over 2,800 teachers and 35,000 students across 102 public school buildings. The region also includes two Wisconsin Technical Colleges and one University of Wisconsin System campus. -

On A Mission To Help
Addiction is a disease that destroys people, families, friendships, workplaces and all relationships. If the stigma around addiction was not as strong – if addiction was not viewed as a personality flaw or weakness, but as a disease – more people would seek early treatment for their addiction rather than hiding it from everyone they love and care about. The goals of the George Moore IV Recovery Foundation are to assist people with addiction issues and promote awareness of the opioid epidemic in Wisconsin.

Upper 90
Planning/Design/Construction
ABOUT US
Since 2016, Upper 90 has been an independent, locally-owned company based in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, just Northeast of Madison. Upper 90 has evolved during this time, beginning with a strict focus on LED lighting solutions. We have expanded our offerings to include many different facility and infrastructure improvements. Our three core principles help shape successful projects for our customers.
We also offer flexible contracting options, where the costs associated with construction risk can be absorbed and mitigated by other parties—instead of entirely by one party (Upper 90). This flexibility reduces the overall project cost and is not typically offered by larger firms.
The most successful projects have a flexible approach to funding. Often times, the funding for a comprehensive project may come from several sources, such as:
Lease-to-Own
Paid-from-Savings Contract
Incentives / Rebates
Grants
Donations
Tax Levy
