What is an REC?

REC = Regional Educational Cooperative

v There are 9 regional education cooperatives located throughout New Mexico, supporting 63 rural school districts, charter schools, and state-supported schools. RECs also work directly with the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) on state-wide projects and initiatives.

v Each REC has member school districts that have chosen to take advantages of their services.

v RECs are considered state agencies. They have administrative ties to the PED but are governed by their own boards. The REC boards consist of the superintendents of their member districts.

v All 9 RECs are members of the New Mexico Regional Education Cooperatives Association (NMRECA). See the website for more information: www.nmreca.org
