BACKGROUND: a. School Collaboration Update At the joint work session of the school boards and County Commissioners on April 26, 2004, there was extensive discussion about work that had been done with regard to collaboration initiatives in the preceding several months. Since the April 2004 joint work session, school and County representatives have been involved in two additional facilitated meetings related to the collaboration initiative. Meeting summaries are attached. The basis for discussion at the July 8, 2004 meeting was a list of priority collaboration topics developed from the discussion at the April 26 joint work session. Only three of the items from that list were able to be addressed on July 8, so discussion at the next meeting on August 24 picked up where the previous meeting had left off. The next meeting of the collaboration work group has been scheduled for October 4, 2004. School board members and staffs may wish to share information about progress that has been made on collaboration topics discussed during two joint school board meetings in March 2004.
