1997, the forty-two school districts in Burlington County came together to create the Educational Services Unit in order to better meet the educational needs of exceptional students county-wide. Since its inception, the Unit has served the county as a division of the Burlington County Special Services School District. It has continually provided opportunities for shared educational programs and services to benefit both public and private school students and staff throughout the county. ESU strives to deliver the highest quality services in the most expedient and economical manner. The Unit exists to supplement and support programs provided within the local districts. The Unit continues to develop and implement a variety of state-of-the-art services to meet the new and emerging needs of an increasingly diverse student population. ESU is proud to continue the tradition of educational excellence established by Burlington County Special Services School District .
