Regional Cooperation Between Local Boards of Education
Regional cooperation between local boards of education can vary widely, from two school districts developing a cooperative arrangement to provide adult education together, to the creation of a regional school district serving children in grades K-12. The study examined the prevalence, advantages, and disadvantages of such efforts and identifies factors related to implementing, replicating, or expanding potentially beneficial regional cooperative efforts.
