Executive Director: Jeremy Kovash

Lakes Country Service Cooperative (LCSC), formerly known as West Central Educational Cooperative Service Unit, was established in May, 1976. LCSC's Board of Directors secures staff to provide leadership and assistance to its members. Agency staff provide planning and support on a regional basis and assist in meeting specific needs of school districts, cities, counties, and other governmental agencies.

LCSC also serves as liaison to various state agencies whenever deemed appropriate. LCSC has established partnerships with numerous businesses and associations that provide opportunities to Region IV members which would not be available otherwise.

LCSC serves a nine-county area in Minnesota's Region IV. Those counties include: Becker, Clay, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope, Stevens, Traverse and Wilkin.

Our Mission

"To provide and promote the development of quality services that are sensitive and responsive to the customers' needs."

It is because of this mission that our members have benefited for the past twenty-five years from the programs and services available through the Service Cooperative.
