Nearby schools
In addition to the types of articulation agreements and staff development opportunities mentioned in other parts of TCSII, neighboring schools can support each other in a variety of ways. For example, they can pool resources to support after-school programs, share facilities for sports leagues, host friendly competitions for test score improvements or attendance, and offer combined parenting courses.
