This session explores the legal intricacies and practical challenges associated with partnerships between school districts and institutions of higher education. For decades, the State of North Carolina has enjoyed an outstanding reputation for the value it has placed on and investment it has made in the education of its citizens. Nonetheless, as the new millennium dawned, the State legislature began to explore different ways to meet the needs of its students.
Although this session focuses mainly on cooperative innovative high schools, such as early college (a public high school operated by the school district but located on a college campus), and laboratory schools (an elementary or secondary school operated by a university but supported in part by the local school district), regional schools and the Innovative School District are two other examples of North Carolina's attempts to think outside the box.
