About Us

CSRA RESA serves 12 school systems: Burke, Columbia, Emanuel, Glascock, Jefferson, Jenkins, Lincoln, McDuffie, Richmond, Taliaferro, Warren and Wilkes. We are governed by a 16 member Board of Control which functions much like a local board of education. The Board is comprised of the superintendents of each system in our region, the president of the colleges and universities in our region, the president of the Technical Colleges, and one representative from the public libraries. Funding is provided by the Georgia legislature, by grant funds, and through local membership fees.

The support we give our school systems include facilitative, consultative, technical and professional development service that promotes continuous school improvement planning, building system capacity to sustain change, and to connect school improvement plans to systemic improvement efforts.

Mission

CSRA RESA partners with school systems to help teachers and leaders make a positive impact on student achievement and other school improvement goals by providing standards based professional learning with a focus on evidence-based practices, providing collaborative opportunities, and the support to implement local, state, and federal educational laws and initiatives.

Vision

CSRA RESA strives to become the premier resource for school districts by offering relevant, evidence-based professional learning, and customized support designed to meet the needs of teachers and leaders focused on student growth and achievement, and the needs of the whole child.
