What governance issues must be agreed as a partnership?
The consortium must develop numerous agreements including: Articles of incorporation Joint powers of partners Shared teachers/staff Long-term coordination for scheduling Long-range funding plan Daily management and operations plan Agreements must be reached on these issues if the long-term coordination for scheduling, funding, and daily management and operation is to be successful. One of the lessons learned in the model represented by ET-LINC is that a coordinator must be hired by the consortium to manage the daily operations of the network.
