Enhancing Opportunities

Cooperating School Districts (CSD) is a non-profit educational service agency that brings school districts together to share resources, information and ideas. CSD offers high quality services in such areas as educational technology, staff development, teacher recruitment, cooperative purchasing, legislation, video production, character education and school public relations. As an education consortium, CSD serves 62 member school districts in nine Missouri counties and in two Illinois counties.

Cooperating School Districts is a proactive voice for education. It is staffed with dedicated professionals who bring together resources and leadership to achieve excellence for all students and all schools. CSD hosts national conferences, offers a myriad of workshops, and convenes other meetings for educators - all of which provide a network of best practices in a variety of areas. CSD is a voluntary, membership-driven organization owned and governed by 30 school districts in the St. Louis metropolitan area. More than 30 additional public school districts receive services through membership in CSD.

CSD contracts with the St. Louis Regional Professional Development Center for quality staff development opportunities for teachers, administrators and support staff. The St. Louis RPDC is one of nine state centers established for the continuous growth of educators from recruitment to retirement.
