A cooperative education service unit is a legal entity. It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage maximum utilization of cooperative efforts among school districts in an effort to maximize educational excellence in this state and to permit cooperative efforts between schools which are not adjacent to one another. A cooperative service unit may provide academic educational resources, human resources, special education services, payroll services, cooperative purchasing, workers' compensation, group health insurance, and other services deemed appropriate by a majority vote of the governing board and in keeping with the laws of the State of South Dakota.
