Our story
Built for Texas schools since 1965
Regional Education Service Centers were created in 1965 to give Texas school districts a reliable partner for the work that happens outside the classroom — curriculum guidance, technology hosting, and food program coordination among them.
Since then, the Texas System of Education Service Centers has grown into a network of 20 regions serving more than 4.1 million students and over 550,000 administrative and campus staff. Each center works at the request of the schools it serves, helping districts divert resources back to teaching.
An integral role in school improvement
ESCs sit at an integral point in Texas school reform and improvement. Their services are developed in response to what districts actually need, so that the support they offer reflects the realities of public, private, and charter classrooms across the state.
- Statewide reach: A network of 20 regional centers.
- Built on request: Services are developed at the request of schools.
- Broad service area: Public, private, and charter school districts.
