Education Service Center Region XI
ESC Region XI is one of 20 education service centers established by the Texas State Legislature in 1967. As an intermediary educational agency, ESC Region XI provides information, services, staff development, and support to 77 public school districts and 22 charter schools in a 10-county area in north central Texas. The Region XI area includes 53,000 educators and more than 467,000 students.
In an area covering 10 counties of North Texas, Region XI services an area equal to the state of New Jersey in size. School districts in this region range in size from Fort Worth Independent School District's large metropolitan schools to small rural districts with only one building housing a total of 80 students for grades K-9.
The Service Center is centrally located in Fort Worth, Texas and is surrounded by many community and cultural resources.
Education Service Center Region XI Board of Directors
Each Education Service Center is governed by a seven member board of directors. These seven board members are elected by local school district boards of trustees located in each region, and a possibility of an additional person appointed by the Commissioner to represent charter schools. Education Service Centers are directly accountable to the Commissioner of Education.
