Samenwerlingsverband PPO regio Leiden

What Samenwerlingsverband PPO regio Leiden does

Samenwerkingsverband PPO regio Leiden (legal name: Samenwerkingsverband Passend Primair Onderwijs regio Leiden) is a publicly funded cooperative consortium (samenwerkingsverband) established under the Dutch Wet Passend Onderwijs (Law on Inclusive Education). Headquartered in Leiderdorp, Zuid-Holland, the organization coordinates inclusive primary education across 78 member schools in the Leiden region, serving children aged 4-13. It is a non-commercial public entity with approximately 16 employees, led by directeur Rich van den Berg, and is governed jointly by member school boards and an Ondersteuningsplanraad (OPR) of parents and school staff representatives.

PPO's service portfolio spans the full passend onderwijs value chain. Its core offering deploys educational specialists who work directly with teachers and intern begeleiders (internal supervisors) at member schools, advising on appropriate educational arrangements. It operates the Toelaatbaarheidscommissie (TLC), the formal committee that issues toelaatbaarheidsverklaringen (TLVs) for placements in special primary education (SBO) and special education (VSO). An Ouder- en Jeugdsteunpunt (Parent and Youth Support Center) serves parents with guidance on educational options. Supporting infrastructure includes a Kenniscentrum (knowledge center), Flitsbijeenkomsten (two-hour professional development flash meetings), the Groeidocument digital student growth tracking tool, Scholen in Beeld (an interactive map of all 78 schools), and the Perspectiefproject collaborative program.

PPO does not operate a software product platform; its technology stack is limited to a WordPress-based website and basic digital tools. The organization is funded through Dutch government allocations administered via member school boards under the Wet Passend Onderwijs framework, with no direct commercial fees charged to schools. Its most recent strategic milestone is the establishment of the Ondersteuningsplan 26-30, a four-year support plan adopted 22 April 2026 that will guide consortium operations through 2030.
