The collaboration agreement was formulated by the leaders of the Town, Village and School District in answer to its constituencies asking for additional cooperative efforts between municipalities. Although the three entities have a long history of cooperation on various projects, the Leadership Team was created to provide a formal and ongoing forum for the Town, Village and School District to use. A formal resolution by each of the Town, Village and School District Boards was first signed on April 29, 2003 and is now signed annually. Click here to view more information.

The Pittsford town, village and school district have a strong commitment to and a long history of collaboration. Many examples exist of successful shared projects and services. To most effectively and efficiently serve the Pittsford community, a collaborative leadership structure is in place for regular meetings and communications across entities. Annually, the respective board/trustee groups reconfirm a commitment entitled “Collaboration Compact” which includes Principles of Collaboration. The thoughtfully agreed upon shared mission of this collaboration is: “…the betterment of all who live, work, play and learn in the Pittsford community” while continuing to achieve the mission and goals of each entity.

 

At this time, the town, village, and school district Leadership Team would like to identify for consideration additional and/or new ways to collaborate in the best interest of our community. To that end, the Leadership Team issues the following charge to inform the work of a new ad hoc committee called the Pittsford Community Collaboration Task Force.

If the committee needs additional time at any point in the study process, the committee chair may propose an extension of the timeline to the Leadership Committee.
