Samenwerkingsverband vo de Meierij

What Samenwerkingsverband vo de Meierij does

Samenwerkingsverband vo de Meierij is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch that operates as a legally mandated regional cooperative association (samenwerkingsverband) of 24 secondary schools in the Meierij region of North Brabant. Founded in 2014, the consortium coordinates passend onderwijs (inclusive education) under the Dutch national framework, ensuring every secondary school student in the region receives education matched to their support needs. Its 24 member schools comprise 16 regular secondary schools (voortgezet onderwijs), 7 special secondary schools (voortgezet speciaal onderwijs), and one Bovenschoolse Voorziening (BSV). The organization employs 37 staff and is governed by a supervisory board composed of school administrators.

The consortium's core services include basisondersteuning (basic support) standards across 12 kernkwaliteiten, extra ondersteuning via Individual Development Perspective Plans (OPP), a Bovenschoolse Voorziening / orthopedagogisch didactisch centrum (OPDC) for at-risk students, Toelaatbaarheidsverklaring (TLV) processing through the Adviescommissie Toewijzing (ACT) and the LDOS system, onderwijszorgarrangementen (OZA) combining education and youth care, PO-VO transition support, and an independent Ouder- en jeugdsteunpunt for parent and youth advice. There are no proprietary technology products; the consortium is a coordination and governance body rather than a technology provider.

The business model is government-funded: as a publicly financed educational consortium operating under the Dutch passend onderwijs framework, the organization receives allocations from Dutch government education budgets routed through member school boards. It does not engage in commercial pricing and does not directly serve end consumers — instead, students access services through their enrolled member schools. Current strategic activity is governed by the Ondersteuningsplan 2023-2027, with planning underway for the 2027-2031 cycle.
