Southern Regional Education Board

The Southern Regional Education Board works with states to improve public education at every level, from early childhood through doctoral education and the workforce. - We help policymakers make informed decisions by providing independent, accurate data and recommendations. - We help educators strengthen student learning with professional development, coaching, proven practices and curricula. - And we help educators share scarce resources to accomplish more together than they could alone. [Our 16 states](https://www.sreb.org/states) are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. SREB is a nonpartisan, nonprofit interstate compact headquartered in Atlanta. Our work is funded by appropriations from our states, as well as by contracts and grants from foundations and from local, state and federal agencies. The nation’s first regional interstate compact for education, SREB was created in 1948 by Southern governors and legislators who recognized the link between education and economic vitality.
