About Us – About – Westmoreland IU 7

In 1971, the Pennsylvania General Assembly established intermediate units throughout Pennsylvania to operate as regional educational service agencies to provide cost-effective, management-efficient programs to Pennsylvania school districts, reducing redundancy and taking advantage of economy of scale.

There are 29 intermediate units in the state of Pennsylvania; however, no two IUs are exactly alike. Each is uniquely shaped by the region it serves and the needs of its member school districts. Each IU performs a number of roles including: vendors, service providers, grant writers, financial and management specialists, researchers, advisors, advocates and facilitators. Although no two intermediate units are alike, each IU's programs and services fall into one of the following categories:

Adult Education
Cooperative Projects
Curriculum Services
Educational Technology
Preschool Education
School-Age Programs
Statewide Programs
Training & Development

The regions the 29 intermediate units serve are as follows:
