6 Memorandum of Understanding Between the Washtenaw Intermediate School District and the Livingston Educational Service Agency Washtenaw Intermediate School District Livingston Educational Service Agency 1819 S Wagner Rd, PO Box W. Grand River Ann Arbor, MI Howell, MI Purpose. The intent of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to formalize the commitment to the shared services model that has developed over time and to establish guidelines for expanding shared services in the future between the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD) and the Livingston Educational Service Agency (LESA). 2. Background. Over the years WISD and LESA have worked collaboratively in a number of ways including the Regional Educational Media Center (REMC), the Livingston and Washtenaw Math and Science Center (LAWMASC), and Safe and Drug Free Schools. More recently the two organizations have entered into agreements for shared services in the areas of common professional development (e.g. Reading Apprenticeship, Assessment Literacy); sharing of curriculum, instruction and assessment staff; and sharing of a career and technical education director. Each of these shared services has been predicated on an annual contract executed by each board of education based on conversations between the superintendents of each district. 3. Duration. This MOU will be in place from July 1, 2016 to June 30, Scope. The scope may include but not be limited to the shared services listed under number 2., above. Conceivably, any functions of both agencies could be considered for shared services under this MOU. 5. Mutual Agreements. o To ensure effectiveness and efficiency in providing service to the constituent districts, whenever there is a vacancy of key administrative staff in either ISD, the superintendents of each ISD will confer to determine whether there is a possibility of implementing a new shared service. o The boards of each ISD will confer annually to discuss the effectiveness of the relationship and determine future opportunities for collaborative ventures. o Each ISD will decide, by March 15 th of each year, whether the shared services are achieving the desired objectives and indicate plans for continuation of the service or modification of the arrangement for the subsequent school year. 6. Effective date. The MOU will become effective July 1, Washtenaw Intermediate School District Livingston Educational Service Agency Diane Hockett, Board President LuAnn Loy, Board President Scott A.
