(1) Any cooperative education school district;

(2) Any city or exempted village school district with a total student count of thirteen thousand or more determined pursuant to section 3317.03 of the Revised Code that has not entered into one or more agreements pursuant to this section prior to July 1, 1993, unless the district’s total student count did not exceed thirteen thousand at the time it entered into an initial agreement under this section.

(B) The board of education of a city or exempted village school district and the governing board of an educational service center may enter into an agreement, through adoption of identical resolutions, under which the educational service center governing board will provide services to the city or exempted village school district. Services provided under the agreement shall be specified in the agreement, and may include any one or a combination of the following: supervisory teachers; in-service and continuing education programs for city or exempted village school district personnel; curriculum services as provided to the local school districts under the supervision of the service center governing board; research and development programs; academic instruction for which the governing board employs teachers pursuant to section 3319.02 of the Revised Code; and assistance in the provision of special accommodations and classes for students with disabilities.

The city or exempted village board of education shall reimburse the educational service center governing board pursuant to section 3317.11 of the Revised Code.

However, only the first thirteen thousand pupils in the formula ADM of such district shall be included in determining the amount of the per pupil subsidy the service center shall receive under division (F) of section 3317.11 of the Revised Code.

(D) Any agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall be valid only if a copy is filed with the department of education by the first day of the school year for which the agreement is in effect.
