PROVIDER PAGE INFORMATION

Texas Education Code Chapter 30A, Sec. 30A.001 defines a “Provider school district or school” as a:

• school district or open-enrollment charter school

Each Provider can and does operate independently. If a Receiver district is interested in utilizing allotment funds to cover course costs, they must access Provider courses through TxVSN in order to do so.
