Menu of Services for Focus Schools Support: Region 4 has designed a menu of services to exclusively address the needs of the 116 TEA-identified focus schools in Region 4. Training is available at no cost to focus school campuses. (Sessions are not open enrollment; only focus school campuses/district designees may attend.)
Optional Region 4 Focus Schools Information Training Session: Region 4 provides the training sessions for Focus Schools at no cost.
Accountability and Leadership Solutions Portal (Focus School folder): This portal has support materials and tools that are used during Region 4 focus schools information sessions and provide additional support to focus schools.
PRIORITY SCHOOLS SUPPORT
The Texas Center for District and School Support (TCDSS) provides the primary training and support to TEA-identified priority school campuses.
Note: Only one session per campus needs to be attended. Since the training will be a working session, campus teams should attend the same session. The district coordinator of school improvement (DCSI) and the principal of each campus are required to attend, with the option of two additional participants per campus. Registration is through the Region 13 E-Campus system.
