Abstract	Cooperative efforts between Cornell University and the community to improve school education are discussed. A committee was formed with representation from the university and three area school districts. Questionnaires distributed to teachers and administrators in area schools determined that there was a need for increased inservice education, as well as support in the form of lectures, surplus equipment and supplies, and access to Cornell facilities. Almost 200 faculty responded in some way to a solicitation, and a roster of potential lecturers, resource persons, and facilities available was compiled. To meet teachers' need for greater access to the intellectual resources of the university, two new programs were instituted: a scholarship program enabling teachers to enroll in university courses at no cost, with or without credit; and a visiting fellow program, which allows teachers to pursue continued scholarship. A free workshop for math teachers consisting of six 2-hour meetings was provided by the university in spring 1985. Additional workshops and special programs for school administrators have also been offered. Continuing needs include obtaining financial support for workshop programs, scheduling professional development programs, and locating the program in the university's administrative structure. (SW)
