LTVEC Details
The Little Tennessee Valley Educational Cooperative (LTVEC) was created in 1971. It is a chartered nonprofit organization that provides services to seven member school systems and their communities (Alcoa City Schools, Athens City Schools, Clinton City Schools, Loudon County Schools, Lenoir City Schools, Monroe County Schools, and Sweetwater City Schools as well as services to non-member schools. Approximately 14,100 students attend LTVEC member school systems. By cooperating collectively through LTVEC, smaller school systems are able to reap many of the benefits of a larger school system while maintaining the advantages associated with the intimacy of smaller school systems. LTVEC's mission is to promote the enhancement of the educational services for the region through cooperative interaction without disrupting individual school system autonomy. LTVEC develops grants, pilots special programs, evaluates ongoing activities, and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas between school systems. These activities provide opportunities for internship experience in systems analysis. LTVEC also provides highly skilled professionals to deliver supplemental services to existing special educational service delivery models within the school systems. Currently, LTVEC provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology therapy, and school psychological services. It also operates a nationally recognized birth-to-three program for children with disabilities in three counties and an assistive technology center. The Cooperative has developed expertise in gifted education, alternative educational programming for seriously emotionally disturbed children, and the interpretation of special education law.
