The WATI regional consultants are available to school districts
for a variety of services. Some of these services are provided to
school districts free of charge or on a cost recovery basis. For
other services there is a fee charged. These fees allow the consultant
to provide a broad array of services to their local school districts.
Because of the individual nature of Wisconsin's Cooperative Educational
Service Agencies (CESAs), it is not possible to be definitive in
what is free and what has a fee. The individual WATI consultant should
be contacted for information on services available from that CESA.
The following are general guidelines of WATI services available to
school districts:
