The Department of Energy awarded assets from the now aborted Superconducting Super Collider project to the University of North Texas for the purpose of forming an educational collaborative. Participating school districts are diverse in size, location and ethnicity. Educational stakeholders come from the four corners of Texas and include schools whose majority of students comprise under-represented groups. The successful collaborative has a well-established network of district contacts, identified teacher leaders, technology coordinators, and supportive administrators. The fifteen-member board oversees all aspects of public school educator certification, continuing education and standards of conduct.
