Regional Service Areas

In 2008, Colorado state legislation approved Senate Bill 08-038 (SB038) "Regional Service Areas" (RSA) which creates 12 regional service areas to support local and regional initiatives to increase student achievement. Each region has a Regional Service Area Council which is responsible for the development, monitoring and reporting of a regional plan to address educational needs within the region. The regional councils are comprised of representatives from K-12 school districts, postsecondary institutions, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), early childhood providers and local community and business representatives.
