Region 18 Education Service Center

🏁 The race for accountability success is officially underway! 🏁

Yesterday, district teams from across the region joined us for our Summer PEIMS Guided Workday. There was an incredible energy in the room as teams looked under the hood of their own district data to spot CCMR trends and map out proactive strategies for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. 🛠️📊

A massive thank you to the team members from the TEA Performance Reporting and Accountability Team for dropping by to share critical insights on the 2028 Accountability Refresh! Having that expert guidance right at the tables was a game-changer.

Our dedicated Region 18 Information Systems and Accountability experts brought their A-game to our district pit crews. When PEIMS and accountability staff partner up, our students and campuses win!

We are excited to celebrate the first cohort of Region 18’s Civics Training Program! Kathy Austin, Deborah Acosta, and Chris Hightower launched this important initiative alongside dedicated teachers and administrators from across the region.

If you were unable to attend the first session, additional CTP courses are available to continue supporting districts throughout Region 18.

We look forward to the continued learning, collaboration, and meaningful civic conversations ahead. 🇺🇸
