The Delta Area Association for Improvement of Schools
(DAAIS)
is a voluntary consortium of Mississippi educational institutions
located in or adjacent to the geographic region known as the
Mississippi Delta. The membership currently includes thirty-four
school districts, one parochial school system, one university, and
two community colleges.
The consortium has grown since the mid 1980’s from an
occasional informal gathering of a few Delta school district
superintendents to an incorporated body which established an office
at Delta State University in 1994 and administers many programs for
Delta Schools. Through
DAAIS,
professional development opportunities and other participatory
activities are extended to school districts across Mississippi.
