In Michigan, an intermediate school district is a government agency usually organized at the county or multi-county level that assists a local school district in providing programs and services. Those services and programs include teacher education, enhancing education for very young or disenfranchised youth, providing resources for curriculum development, and training in new technologies. They collect data for the Michigan Department of Education, and act as liaisons to the State of Michigan government. An intermediate school district has a board of education chosen by a group of electors with one member from each local school district's board of education. Additionally, they may recommend a merger of school districts to the Michigan State Board of Education.
