Partners and Collaborators

Stong Partnerships for Success

The Trustees Education Initiative (TEI) values its collaboration with many individuals and organizations across Wyoming. Each TEI initiative works with partners and collaborators throughout the state, building relationships that are key to our success. By working together, we can share knowledge and resources to improve education. These efforts help us make a real difference for Wyoming's students and educators.
