IASC understands that our school districts can be more efficient and cost effective if we work together rather than standing alone. Working together, we can: a) Sustain effective instruction and curriculum offerings. b) Maximize benefit to cost for services and resource allocation. c) Overcome limitations of operating alone. d) Provide opportunities to access curriculum, resources and expertise to enrich services to all students in each district in the area. e) Develop, implement and expand Applied Learning Initiatives. The Itasca Area Schools Collaborative will enable members to cooperate and partner on services essential to providing quality education services for our students and communities.
