Regional Technical Assistance Centers

The eight Regional Technical Assistance Centers (R-TACs), identified by the California Department of Education, play a vital role in supporting community schools through the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP). These centers provide technical assistance to schools by conducting comprehensive assessments of school and community assets and needs. They help develop programming that fosters positive, supportive, and racially just school climates while strengthening relationships between schools and communities. R-TACs also work to create, deepen, and expand partnerships with community organizations and coordinate services across child-serving agencies, municipalities, and governmental entities. Additionally, they enhance family and community engagement by ensuring communication occurs in the languages spoken within the community. Through collaborative leadership and shared decision-making, R-TACs support schools and Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in implementing sustainable funding strategies by accessing and combining multiple revenue sources. These efforts ensure that schools are equipped with the necessary resources to build and maintain strong, community-centered support systems.
