Who We Are

Education Service Center (ESC) Region 10, in collaboration with the Harris County Department of Education, has been awarded Central Operations of the TxVSN. Central Operations will establish communication efforts to facilitate the delivery of online courses and provide information to stakeholders. ESC Region 10 has been selected to serve as the TxVSN partner to conduct the review of electronic courses to be offered through the network.

TxVSN Central Operations, in conjunction with Region 10, will solicit courses from school districts for review and Region 10 will provide training to qualified online course reviewers to determine if an online course(s) submitted for offering through the TxVSN meets the quality standards established by the state.
