History, Mission, Values

In 2005, the North Dakota Legislature appropriated one million dollars toward the formation of Regional Education Associations (REAs). Originally created to provide an infrastructure to save money through more collaboration amongst regional schools, REAs have expanded those services to support schools in areas such as technology, grant writing and expanded opportunities in professional development. Assisting schools in reaching their goals for student achievement has become central to their mission.
