EDUCATION AGENCY RELATIONS GOALS
The Board cooperates with other districts and with other local, state and regional agencies and organizations in the solution of educational problems of common concern. This cooperation extends but is not limited to such areas as research, exchange of information and data, coordination of curriculum, coordination of school calendars and activities and construction of facilities which might be efficiently used on a cooperative basis. To serve a broader area, the District may consider other activities.
In carrying out this policy, the Superintendent may include in his/her recommendations to the Board an evaluation of the desirability and feasibility of cooperation with other agencies in endeavors which could benefit the District.

RELATIONS WITH OTHER SCHOOLS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
The Board cooperates with other districts and institutions of higher learning for such purposes as:
1. seeking solutions to educational problems of common concern;
2. offering supporting services of high quality to our students;
3. acquiring federal and state grants and
4. promoting local school system involvement in regional and state decision making.
This cooperation may extend to research, providing transportation for children to special schools and hospitals, coordination of curriculum, exchange of information and data, construction of facilities which may be effectively used on a cooperative basis, sharing of curricular offerings, cooperative purchasing and the coordination of school calendars and activities. This cooperation may also extend to charter schools.
Before joining in any cooperative effort and to serve the best interests of the students, the Superintendent investigates and suggests cooperative ventures and provides the Board with supportive documentation prior to the time the Board is asked to act.

STUDENT TEACHING AND INTERNSHIPS
The Board recognizes the contributions student teachers and/or interns can make to the District and its responsibility to ensure high quality teacher training. Therefore, the Board authorizes the Superintendent/designee to arrange for the annual supervision and training of student teachers and interns.
The importance of the teacher training function to the future of education and the need to ensure high quality performance in our schools require student teachers to be placed with experienced teachers of demonstrated competence. While no staff members are required to supervise student teachers, it is expected that interested teachers volunteer for such duties.
The teacher training institutions should provide liaison personnel who discuss with the building principal and supervising teacher the broad objectives that the institution believes should be pursued. Liaison personnel, subject to all school visitor rules and regulations, are free to visit the classrooms to observe the student teacher at work.
It is expected that the teacher training institution arranges the schedule of the student teacher to provide sufficient time in the classroom in order that continuity of experience for the student teacher and the District students is ensured.
