viding adequate waste disposal facilities by coordi-
nating efforts and finding financing. The Authority

fuels that are derived from or are otherwise related

Basically, the Authority is self-supporting, re-
ceiving minor appropriations from participating

The Regional Education Service Agency of Appa-
lachian Maryland (RESA) works to raise the educa-
tional level of residents in Appalachian Maryland
(Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties). The
Agency originated in 1967 as the Educational Sub-
committee of the Appalachian Regional Commission.
A formal organization by 1970, it became a separate
administrative unit of government in 1973, author-
ized by statute and by the Attorney General's approval
of a joint agreement by the eight member institutions
(Chapter 533, Acts of 1973).
The Agency fosters cooperation among educa-
tional institutions and organizations and establishes
goals, policies, and procedures for regional educa-
tion projects, which it plans, coordinates, and im-
plements. It also promotes the improvement of
educational, scientific, and literary facilities and pro-
grams at and among participating schools.
The Agency helps member institutions identify
needs that could be met by regional programs or
services. Agency staff provides direct support and
leadership for interagency and institutional liaison,
project development and implementation, and pro-
ject review and evaluation.
The Agency also provides technical assistance
and recommendations to the Governor concerning
education's role in the development of the region.
These recommendations are the basis for education
programs funded by the Appalachian Regional
Commission through the Department of Housing
and Community Development.
