Small Schools Network

Small Texas school districts share their own special set of challenges. TASA’s Small Schools Network provides support — through customized professional development and networking events — to districts with fewer than 1,300 students.

A design team composed of leaders of small school districts from across Texas plans the network’s learning events. 

If you would like to become involved in the Small Schools Network, please email learning@tasanet.org to be added to our mailing list.

2026-27 Small Schools Network

Schedule

About the Events

Modeled after TASA’s extremely popular Future-Ready Superintendents Network (FRSLN), in-person events are hosted by small districts, where participants have the opportunity to visit campuses and learn directly from district leaders and educators how they are leveraging their strengths and overcoming challenges.

Participants were also invited to a meetup event in January during the TASA Midwinter Conference in San Antonio.

The virtual event will be free and open to everyone! Participants will have the opportunity to connect and share ideas with fellow leaders from small districts across the state.

Eligibility

Participation in the 2026-27 Small Schools Network is limited to a maximum of 225 participants representing Texas school districts with fewer than 1,300 students.

Registration Cost

$250 per in-person event per team member

The February virtual event is free and open to everyone!
