Falls Education Cooperative

What Falls Education Cooperative does

Falls Education Cooperative is a government-funded special education cooperative that delivers free, individualized services to children with disabilities and behavioral challenges across seven independent school districts in Falls County and McLennan County, Texas. The service portfolio comprises six integrated programs: Child Find (screening and identification), the Admissions, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) process for designing individualized education plans, Behavioral Support Services, Speech Therapy, Transition Services for post-school preparation, and Parent Training. Services are delivered on-campus at partner districts via referrals from campus principals and the ARD committee workflow. The cooperative partners with SPEDTex (Special Education Information Center) to distribute family-facing educational resources.

The organization operates under the regulatory framework of the Texas Education Agency and the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which mandates Free Appropriate Public Education for eligible children. Its "platform" is a coordinated human-service model—speech therapists, behavioral specialists, and education professionals working inside school campuses—rather than a software product. There are no proprietary AI/ML components, API endpoints, or significant technology assets disclosed; the website (fecoop.net) serves an informational and resource distribution function.

The business model is non-commercial. All services are provided at no cost to families, with operations funded through Texas public education funding channels. The cooperative is led by Director of Special Education Teri Rinewalt and is headquartered at 3162 Hwy 6, Marlin, TX 76661. As a publicly funded, member-governed entity serving seven small rural districts, Falls Education Cooperative is structurally a public service institution rather than a venture-investable business: it discloses no revenue, has no equity funding history, and operates with shared governance across its member districts.
