Historical/Biographical Sketch: In 1965, the 59th Texas Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to establish media centers throughout the state. Two years later, the State Board of Education divided the state into 20 regions, assigning each media center to begin operations and serve in each region. The 60th Texas Legislature expanded the Regional Service Centers’ services and designated the roles of each service center in coordinating educational planning for the region. In 1984, the Texas House passed Bill 72, which directed the Regional Service Centers to work closer with the Texas Education Agency and school districts to raise the quality of district programs, and enhance uniformity and consistency in district operations.

The Region VII Service Center is in east Texas, along the border of Louisiana and Arkansas. The Center’s Child Nutrition Program Department provides services to school districts in the areas of technical assistance; regional training/workshops for school food service personnel; individual and group training of food service personnel requested by individual districts; assistance for districts with implementation of Nutrition Education Programs and assistance to schools with Nutrition and Special Projects.
