2 Introduction The Southeast Collaborative Regional Organization (S.C.R.O.) is a consortium of nine educational collaboratives in southeastern Massachusetts. The purpose of S.C.R.O. is to: enhance the quality of education in each local district by creating a wealth of combined expertise; maximize education dollars through consolidation of resources such as professional development and technology; build capacity within member districts through the sharing of management, instructional and support personnel; share knowledge, information and best practices among members; acquaint state and local leaders, policy makers and the public with the role educational collaboratives play in promoting high quality, cost effective school districts. The S.C.R.O. provides a connection to the Massachusetts Organization of Educational Collaboratives (M.O.E.C.), the state level collaborative organization. The nine collaboratives affiliated with S.C.R.O. are: Cape Cod Collaborative CHARMS Collaborative North River Collaborative Pilgrim Area Collaborative READS Collaborative South Shore Educational Collaborative Southeastern Massachusetts Educational Collaborative These collaboratives are associated with nearly one hundred school districts from the southeastern part of Massachusetts. Collaboratives provide specialized education programs for students with complex special needs who are not able to make adequate progress in their home school districts. The collaboratives provide outstanding educational and therapeutic services. The students are able to remain close to their home town while receiving specialized educational instruction to meet their needs. Some of the school districts associated with S.C.R.O. offer specialized programs within the home schools so that students may be educated locally with peers. The districts programs are high quality and comparable to collaborative and private school programs. In this brochure, school districts and collaboratives have provided descriptions of the specialized programs that are available to students from other school districts or collaborative regions. This information is provided to assist you in locating a program that will provide a challenging and successful educational setting for students who are not making adequate progress at his/her home district. The programs listed in this guide will meet high standards and expectations for all learners. Each program or school listed has a person for you to contact for additional information.
