SC2V REN Coordinating Body

The South Coast to Valley Regional Educator Network (SC2V REN) serves the 31 districts in Coos, Curry, Western Douglas, Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties and is lead by a diverse team called a Coordinating Body which is comprised of at least 51% K-12 teachers.

The SC2V REN strives to have a Coordinating Body that is racially, ethnically, culturally, and/or linguistically diverse and reflective of our region's educators and students. Our team benefits greatly from having novice educators in their first 3 years.

We are seeking representatives with strong communication skills, a desire to make a positive impact, have experience with and willingness to lead with equity, understand the strengths and needs of their district or organization and region, and be willing to grow professionally.

Apply here to become a member of our coordinating body.
