RSN support is provided to districts at low-to-no cost regardless of Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) membership.

In addition to providing technical support, engaging in continuous improvement, and developing leadership capacity, the RSN can serve as a broker or facilitator to district-level leaders, fostering collaboration between districts and WI DPI supports, specifically around IDEA Indicators. IDEA Indicators are the check-points used by the federal government to ensure that states receiving federal funds are implementing IDEA in an effective and compliant manner (i.e., the rights and protections of students with disabilities are being carried out)
