In our previous newsletter, we mentioned the provider support pages. If you haven't had a chance to take a peek, we encourage you to do so!

Each of our TexQuest providers has a fantastic support page built specifically for TexQuest. These support pages include resources such as pre-recorded webinars, lesson plans, scavengers hunts, graphic organizers, infographics, flyers, and so much more.

TexQuest is a statewide digital resources program that provides anytime, anywhere access to high quality, authoritative digital resources to all educators, students, and students' immediate families in Texas K-12 public schools and open enrollment charter schools. Supported, in part, by appropriations from the Texas State Legislature, Texas districts pay a small per student participation fee to gain access to TexQuest resources from the providers listed on this page.

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission administers all aspects of the TexQuest program and is responsible for the selection and coordination of all TexQuest resources, as well as district invoicing.

Education Service Center, Region 20 serves as the TexQuest Support Center and is responsible for help desk, technical assistance, outreach, communication, and training to support the program.

Feel free to contact us with ANY TexQuest related question. We are more than happy to help!
