CiTi

Nine school districts share services through CiTi, an educational organization based in Mexico, in Oswego County. It provides educational experiences, cooperative services and cost-effective programs, so schools can pool resources that would be harder to manage on their own. Mexico is a village not far from Lake Ontario.

That shared model is common in upstate New York, where small districts team up to offer programs and services together. CiTi’s reach across nine districts means students and staff in different communities can benefit from the same resources.
