The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) is the first and largest of Connecticut’s six Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs). Established in 1966 as a grassroots effort of local school districts under the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes (C.G.S.) Section 10-66a-n, CREC serves thirty-five member public school districts in north central Connecticut. The Connecticut State Department of Education is CREC’s regulatory State agency.

CREC is governed by a Council of publicly elected board of education members, each appointed by a member district to serve as a CREC Council director. The term of service for directors may not exceed four years. The Council appoints an Executive Director to serve as CREC’s executive agent. Pursuant to C.G.S. 10-66c, CREC, as a regional educational service center, is a body corporate and politic and, as such, is a public educational authority acting on behalf of the State of Connecticut. The Internal Revenue Service has determined CREC to be an organization described in Section 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

CREC’s mission is to improve the quality of public education through cooperative programs. CREC is pleased to make this RFQ/P available and looks forward to receiving proposals from qualified firms.

CREC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
