      ab: Part of a special section on country classrooms. The writer discusses how education services agencies can be hugely advantageous to rural school systems. He argues that the economies of scale inherent in education services agency networks can provide schools with access to programs, services, and technical assistance that they might not otherwise be able to acquire. He contends that the school system's small size and limited resources, therefore, becomes less of an issue. He describes the core services provided by such agencies, and he traces their historic roots. He reports that two recent statewide studies suggested that state networks offer quality programs, and he notes the constancy and change that characterizes the 30-year-old educations services agency movement. He notes some of the issues and questions that the concept of a state network of state agencies provokes.
