Positively affecting the future.
With the school year fast approaching, we want to provide you with the latest updates and resources to help you in your role.

Steven Snell Named 2024 Regional Superintendent of the Year
Congratulations to Steven Snell, the superintendent of Liberty Hill ISD, for being named the 2024 Regional Superintendent of the Year ESC Region 13!
Since he was appointed superintendent, Snell has led the district through remarkable growth and significant achievements. Under his leadership, student enrollment has doubled from 4,000 to 9,050 in just over five years. Read more about his leadership here.
ECP's District Referral Program
If you need to employ uncertified teacher applicants this fall, look no further than our District Referral Program (DRP). The DRP is a specialized two-year preparation pathway catering to all content areas and grade levels. Unlike conventional programs, applicants must be in the process of being hired by a district or currently working for a district.
This initiative ensures that candidates, while handling the responsibilities of a first-year teacher, receive comprehensive training and content readiness to attain their intern certificate by August 2024.
Learn more about the program and the available options here.
