2024-2025 Partner District Agreement |
What is a Partner District?
Partner Districts are intimately involved with, and contribute to, the activities of the Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty. Administrators, teachers, and stakeholders in Partner Districts work hand-in-glove with the Center to determine the activities and services that will best support educators in their important work in high poverty schools. Educators in Partner Districts have access to exclusive events and activities, and participate in most activities at no charge or at a reduced Partner District fee.
Membership
The South Carolina Legislature validated the mission and work of the Center by approving a proviso each year since 2010 that enabled the Center to expand beyond the Pee Dee region. Again this year, up to three additional Partner Districts will be added to the 32 active Partner Districts. Current Partner Districts should indicate their intention to renew by July 1, 2024 by submitting a fully executed Partner District Agreement form. New districts will be accepted in the order applications are received. A waiting list will be maintained, and, after August 1, 2024, any non-renewed Partner District memberships will be made available to wait-listed districts.
