History
Tazewell-Mason Counties Special Education Association is a legally constituted Special Education Joint Agreement, formed under the Illinois School Code. TMCSEA is a cooperative agreement among area Superintendents and schools to provide comprehensive special education services. The Association was formed by the leadership of the two county Regional Superintendents, local school Superintendents and the Board of Education of thirty-two school districts during the school year of 1966-67. The Association became operational on July 1, 1968. The 68-69 school year opened with a staff of forty-six special education personnel. Since the 1980's, TMCSEA has been decentralized into seven mini-coops, where the individual districts hire a majority of the special education teaching and support staff. TMCSEA currently has twenty-one (21) member districts. The focus is on providing student and district consultative services, special education programs, professional development opportunities and the continued operation of Schramm Educational Center. The Association has been in operation since 1968 and has operated the Schramm Educational Center since that time. The administrative offices were originally housed in a local office building in downtown Pekin, and moved to the Schramm Educational Center in 1990. The Art Schramm family donated property in Pekin in a residential area to provide a site for Schramm Educational Center. The Center sits on seven acres of property that was jointly donated and purchased by the Association to provide the necessary school site. In addition, TMCSEA has a joint agreement with the Department of Rehabilitation Services ( DRS). The Association currently employs over eighty-five special education personnel serving the twenty-one member districts.
