Regional education service centers, districts, funders, and other partners are coming together to build this revolutionary new platform. Get to know The Exchange community.
Founding Regions
Our Collaborative is founded by five regional education service centers – Region 4 in Houston, Region 10 in Dallas, Region 11 in Ft Worth, Region 13 in Austin, and Region 20 in San Antonio. This committed group is working to solve data problems statewide.
But we want this collaborative effort to grow to all 20 regions in the state and seek input from each region as we continue our work.

Partners
Partnerships enable an architecture that grows with the state and ensures the system isn't just being built for state-driven data and data exchange. We envision a design that can create a new world of opportunities for our districts and educators, giving them the power to use data to make better decisions in the classroom.
