Supporting instructional leadership is something that can maximize what happens throughout a district, and WE LOVE these opportunities!! We're planting some KLK seeds to strengthen instructional practices through observations. #whatinspirESU

The Southwest Nebraska Distance Education Network is pleased to announce that 170 DEU credits have been generated by our member districts during the 2020-2021 school year. Districts that send out Distance Learning classes will receive 1 to 2 credits per class and 1 credit for each class received. State lottery dollars up to $170,000 are paid for DEU credits statewide. We look forward to assisting our Districts in generating more DEU credits next year for the 2021-2022 school year. For questions concerning the DEU process, email scott.jones@esusixteen.org
