The Platte Valley Education Cooperative (PVEC) has been an integral part of the special education programs for multiple school districts since 1977. The PVEC assists the member school districts in providing identification of children with special needs and in providing the appropriate services for the children based on the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s requirements. The PVEC also assists member districts in locating outside services for children as required on the child’s IEP. The PVEC is currently located at the North Platte R-I Intermediate School in Edgerton, MO.
