Advisory Board

The State Legislature created the Rural Education Advisory Committee (REAC) in 1990, at the request of the Legislative Commission on Rural Resources, to advance rural education quality, access, and cost effectiveness. The Committee is comprised of nine members (listed below) appointed by the Governor, State Legislature, and Commissioner of Education to four-year terms and who reflect the diversity of the state's rural areas. By statute, the REAC serves as the Advisory Board for the Center for Rural Schools.
