"While some larger school districts have in-house personnel to offer some programs, smaller school districts turn to resources like the Region 7 Education Service Center for support.
“There is a wide array of services that they provide for the districts,” Ore City Superintendent Lynn Heflin said. “You can tailor your contract with the service center based on the needs of the district. We would be a lot less effective if it wasn’t for the service center and all of the things they provide for our school district.”
The State Board of Education in 1967 divided Texas into 20 regions. Each region received a $67,524 grant to establish a regional education service center. The Region 7 Education Service Center, based in Kilgore, serves 106 school districts in 17 East Texas counties. Nationwide there are 620 regional education service centers in 42 states, according to the Association of Educational Service Agencies."
