“It is impossible to overstate the level of customer service that the Region V staff provides to its districts.
Any of my team can contact a Region V staff person via email or phone call and receive a prompt, accurate and
friendly response. The staff expertise extends beyond using SMART into areas such as UFARS, STAR, ACA compliance
and MARSS (to name a few).”

“The support and assistance Region V provides is
exceptional. The implementation process of assisting our
district with the ACA process was very smooth. The
support materials such as examples in the materials and
timelines provided to keep us on target with the tracking
requirements have been so beneficial. Region V has
really made the complex ACA process into a
manageable task.“
