Dr. Robert A. Mengerink, Superintendent, ESC of Northeast Ohio
Welcome to the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio.
At the ESC of Northeast Ohio, our work is rooted in a commitment to serve young people and the adults who support them. We believe every child and youth deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive—and that means working not only with schools, but also with families, community partners, and organizations dedicated to supporting the whole child.
Our role is to anticipate needs, connect resources, and provide innovative solutions that strengthen systems of support for children, youth, and families. We convene partners across education, workforce, health, and community sectors—recognizing that student success and youth well-being are built through collective effort.
While the needs of young people continue to evolve, our purpose remains constant: to empower those who serve them, to expand opportunities, and to inspire growth. Whether through professional learning, student wellness, technology, or regional collaborations, we strive to be a trusted partner that says “yes” to new ideas, challenges, and opportunities.
We are honored to serve as a bridge—linking vision with action, and local priorities with broader statewide and national initiatives. Thank you for trusting the ESC of Northeast Ohio to stand alongside you in building brighter futures for all youth.
Sincerely,
Bob
