Policy No. 4320Whenever it appears that there is an economic, administrative and/or educational advantage for the district to participate in cooperative programs with other units of local government, the superintendent shall prepare and present for the board’s consideration an analysis of each cooperative proposal. Cooperative programs between two or more small school districts shall not affect the small school factor of participating schools. Cooperative agreements shall comply with the requirements of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, with assurances that all parties to the agreement have the legal authority to engage in the activities contemplated by the agreement. Emergency Use of Equipment and Facilities
It is the policy of the Board of Directors to assist all appropriate agencies in the relief of human need resulting from natural disasters or emergencies. Where possible, Board regulations should be followed in order to assure the most effective use of equipment and facilities. At no time, however, should such regulations interfere with the immediate availability of equipment and facilities in emergency situations.
