The Rex School Community Council began as the Partnership Network Management Team in 2009. The Council consists of university, school district, and community leaders charged with providing support from a global perspective for the multiple and varied Rex Institute programs and initiatives including the Winthrop University-School Partnership Network. With a focus on meeting the needs of PK-12 students, teachers, administrators, university faculty, and teacher candidates, the Council organizes professional learning opportunities, collaborates on projects and grants, examines budget and assessment data, and ensures program accountability.
