About:

TREA was founded in 1992 to improve advocacy for rural schools at the State Board of Education, the Texas State Legislature, and the U.S. Congress.

We primarily focus on legislation that directly affects rural schools, such as small and mid-size adjustments, and we enjoy cooperating with all like-minded groups in this advocacy.

TREA is affiliated with the National Rural Education Association and collaborates with the National Rural Education Coalition in advocating for federal funding nationally.

TREA is dedicated to developing leadership qualities in rural educators and enhancing teaching and learning in Texas’ rural schools.

We conduct a Summer Conference, which provides opportunities to share experiences and ideas that help us address the two most pressing issues in rural Texas.

1. Qualified teacher shortages.
2. The retention of qualified teachers in our rural schools.

At the conference, we also shared administrative ideas that help rural administrators run their schools with little staff assistance.

TREA recently started the Best Practices in Rural Schools Spring Conference with the assistance of the Gates Foundation and our Region Education Service Centers.

Our intent for the conference is to create a forum where rural schools across the state can share ideas that have been successful in improving teaching and learning.

We invite schools that share rural values to join our association.

Remember, our membership criteria are: “If You Think You Are Rural—-—YOU ARE!”
