Abstract	As education institutions more readily pursue stronger connections with the entire community, joint-use programs allow them to forge those bonds more effectively--providing entire communities with more access to facilities and services, often critically needed in some areas, and more efficient use of tax funds. Through joint-use agreements, education institutions forsake some of their independence for the benefits of collaboration. By partnering with municipalities, private groups or other education institutions, schools can build better facilities and offer more services to their communities. However, to be successful, schools and their partners must clearly establish the boundaries of the joint-use agreement--who will have control of the facilities and when, who will maintain the facilities, and who will be responsible when something goes wrong. This article highlights some successful joint-use programs. (ERIC).
