 \n●  \n●  \n●●  \nTwo or more governmental organizations  \nEqual exchange of goods, services, funds, permissions, etc. Mutually beneficial  \nLegal document using legal language  \nHow Many Students Benefit?  \n● Use the IL Secretary of State’s Library District map to figure out how many students in a school district live in an unserved area.  \n● Once you have an approximate student count, you can then determine what an equal exchange would look like  \nWriting the IGA  \n● How we created ours  \n● Template available from RAILS Next step:  \n● Directors/superintendents must approve  \n● Lawyers edit and approve on both sides  \n● Boards edit and approve on both sides Remember: this takes MONTHS.  \nOne IGA is Not Like the Other  \nThere is no “correct” IGA.  \nSimilarities:  \n● Library Services  \n● Term and Renewal of the Intergovernmental Agreement  \nDifferences:  \n● Maintenance; Closing  \n● Insurance  \nBottom line: your IGA should best reflect the needs of your community--so don’t be a stickler about the template!  \nYour IGA is Approved!
