SWV VO/VSO Midden Limburg (31.02)

What SWV VO/VSO Midden Limburg (31.02) does

SWV VO/VSO Midden-Limburg (31.02) is a Dutch public educational cooperative (vereniging / samenwerkingsverband) established on August 1, 2014, under the Wet Passend Onderwijs (WVO Article 17a). Headquartered in Roermond, Limburg, it coordinates "passend onderwijs" (appropriate education) services for students requiring additional support in secondary education (VO) and secondary special education (VSO) across six municipalities: Beesel, Echt-Susteren, Leudal, Maasgouw, Roerdalen, and Roermond. The cooperative comprises nine member school boards operating approximately 30+ schools, including Adelante, Aloysiusstichting/Wijnberg, Alterius, Berkenschutse, Herman Broerenschool, Onderwijsgroep Buitengewoon, Praktijkonderwijs Roermond, SOML, and Yuverta College.

The organization's core deliverables are coordination services rather than a discrete product. These include support plan development (ondersteuningsplan), eligibility assessments for special education placements via the Bovenschools Toetsings Orgaan (BTO), the issuance of toelaatbaarheidsverklaringen (TLVs), the Maatwerkalliantie Roermond integrating education with youth care, Actietafels (intervention tables) for vulnerable youth, transition support between PO-VO, VSO-VO, and VO-MBO, and Synthesevoorziening plus Meer- en Hoogbegaafdheid resources. Governance rests on a general assembly of member boards, a three-person Raad van Toezicht chaired by Peter Schut, an OPR (ondersteuningsplanraad), and an executive bureau led by Directeur-bestuurder Judith Goossens. There is no technology platform underpinning these services — operations are process-based, supported by a small bureau staff of approximately five employees.

The business model is non-commercial: the organization is funded through Dutch government educational allocations for passend onderwijs rather than pricing its services. Membership is statutorily mandated for all secondary schools in the region, eliminating traditional go-to-market motion. Distribution occurs directly through the nine member schools and the central bureau. The 2025-2029 ondersteuningsplan is the current planning period, and the organization is undertaking a bureau restructuring effective January 1, 2026, alongside an office relocation to Heinsbergerweg 184 effective August 1, 2026.
