{What is TRECA?}
Tri-Rivers Educational Computer Association (TRECA) is a Information Technology Center (ITC) Site (formally known as a Data Acquisition Site (DA Site)) - a consortium of over 40 Ohio School Districts located primarily in Delaware, Knox, Marion, Morrow, Muskingum, and Wyandot counties. We provide software, hardware, staff development, and technology integration support for our member schools. As one of 20+ ITC-sites around the state, we are a member of the Ohio Education Computer Network (OECN) which provides fiscal, support, and student services statewide to Ohio's school districts. Beyond these core services, TRECA also provides additional services to our member schools and contracted institutions. In addition, TRECA is the home of the TRECA Digital Academy, our new online digital K-12 community school.
