SERVICES

Business and Financial Services

These are challenging times for school districts. Educators are working with fewer resources, but there are greater expectations placed on all. CREC Business Services can help by providing services that assist districts in planning, monitoring, and managing the financial affairs of the district. By enlisting our help, a district can reduce their own workload and personnel needs.

SCHOOLS

Farmington Valley Diagnostic Center

CREC collaborates with twelve Farmington Valley school districts to provide an interim educational setting for students who are experiencing significant difficulties in their own school or transitioning from one educational setting to another. Students are provided with a fresh start in a new setting and the opportunity to better understand their own strengths while developing skills that will enable them to be more successful within their schools, families and communities. Farmington Valley member districts have priority for placements. Other districts can seek referrals for placement dependent on availability.
