Partners and their school liaisons can discuss and determine needs and level of involvement together. Be sure to share talents and offerings you or your staff have that could benefit schools. Partners and schools should mutually determine and agree upon what will be done. The partnership opportunities are limitless, but here are a few ideas to help get creative juices flowing.
