If you or your business would like to support Rural Schools or Rural School Ideas, please join us as a partner.  Your donation of $2500 is tax deductible. Joining TARS as a partner is valuable not only to TARS and member school districts, but partnerships can bring a business a far reaching impact.  TARS partners become known by all our organizational members and become known by the members on a first-name basis.  TARS partners will be provided access to members at meetings held by TARS, at conference attended by TARS, featured on the TARS website, and on weekly emails to membership.  If TARS publishes it, partners will be listed on any publication and/or through social media. TARS has a presence at Education Service Centers, at TASA Mid-Winter, TASA/TASB School Board Convention, superintendent retreats, hosts annual membership meetings and officer/director retreats. Your partnership can potentially reach 500+ school districts through your association with the Texas Association of Rural Schools.  If you have questions about becoming a TARS Partner, please do not hesitate to contact Executive Director, Michael Lee at tarsed@centex.net or by phone at 806/202-2764 or Associate Director, Leigh Ann Glaze at tars@centex.net; 325/372-8552.
