Ohio to test cooperative school district services
By Kenneth L. Davis in Columbus Ohio the state will trial an educational resources district concept. Several districts perhaps across counties would share administrative and teaching services to cut costs and improve instruction. The plan envisions savings on books and supplies by pooling purchases for many students rather than per district.

Ohio Eyes Cooperative School Resources District Plan
Ohio educators push a budget plan for cooperative resources districts to serve a minimum of 35 000 students, enabling curriculum sharing textbook selection and purchasing. The idea would cover areas from a single county to Appalachian regions, with services including psychology and computer support, though full computer use requires about 60 000 pupils. Local pressures may block county wide consolidation.
