Purpose
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is committed to increasing awareness, building local capacity, and strengthening the supports, resources, and tools available to Texas public schools to meet the unique needs and statutory requirements of highly mobile and at-risk student populations.
Through collaboration, technical assistance, and targeted guidance, TEA helps ensure that students facing significant educational disruptions have equitable access to educational opportunities and the services necessary to support academic success and well-being.
To better align specialized supports and expertise, programs formerly housed within the Highly Mobile and At-Risk (HMAR) unit are now administered within the divisions noted in the contacts column to the right. This structure enables TEA to provide focused leadership, resources, and technical assistance that promote educational stability and positive outcomes for these student populations.
