Jackson County ISD is an educational service agency based in Jackson, Michigan, serving a network of public school districts, two charter academies, and private and parochial schools in Jackson County. It provides centralized support across those districts, including technology services and a broad range of special education resources. The organization operates centers such as the Jackson Area Career Center for career and technical education and the Lyle A. Torrant and Kit Young Centers for students with special needs. In addition, JCISD coordinates transportation for special education and serves as the technology and administrative hub for multiple local districts, covering finance, legal, human resources, pupil accounting, professional development, and communications. Beyond its home county, it provides technology and special education services to Hillsdale County Intermediate School District and some of its local districts, and a ransomware incident in November 2022 led to a three-day shutdown of schools in Jackson and Hillsdale counties.
