Membership
TETL is a non-profit association of technology leaders in Texas school districts and the state chapter of the national Consortium of School Networking [CoSN]. Our purpose is to assist Texas K-12 School districts in understanding how to plan for the use and successful implementation of information technology. TETL also serves as an advocate for district technology needs to improve student learning and support administrative applications. We are an institutional membership organization open to K-12 school districts. Once a district joins, the benefits are extended to all members of that organization. Other education agencies and other interested parties in the state of Texas may join as affiliate educator or affiliate corporate members. Individuals with an interest in educational technology issues, such as recent retirees, graduate students, or ed tech consultants can also become members. The primary audience will be all district technology leaders. TETL memberships are managed through CoSN.
If your district is only seeking access to the Data Privacy Alliance, please contact exdir@tetl.org.

Categories of CoSN and TETL Membership
Institutional Membership in the CoSN/TETL Chapter offers a unique team structure: all leaders in the school district can take advantage of the membership at no additional cost. School districts, educational service agencies, charter or private schools, state departments of education, colleges and universities, or other associations can join CoSN as institutional members.
