Saving money by working together

MCSBA’s member districts collaborate with municipalities, businesses, and each other to offer excellent services in a fiscally prudent manner. MCSBA and professional organizations provide opportunities for planning to provide cost efficient programs and services. Cost efficiency is defined two ways:
- Programs and services of the same value at less cost, and/or
- Programs and services of added value at the same cost.

This sharing of resources saves local local school districts millions of dollars every year while improving the quality and variety of services provided by the county’s public schools. These collaborations, whether long standing or relatively new, provide a wide range of services in the areas of:
Instructional Program Service
Central Services
Insurance Cooperatives
Operations and Maintenance
Transportation
