The Cherokee County Board of Education approved two new partnership agreements with community organizations recently, adding to more than 80 such relationships with businesses, civic groups, schools and non-profits.

The board OK’d an agreement with CURE Childhood Cancer, a non-profit research-funding and patient support group, under which schools can take part in the group’s fundraising drives and informational programs. They also approved a partnership with MUST ministries. The Marietta-based nonprofit has held food, clothing and toy collection drives in Cherokee schools. MUST now hopes to help schools develop campus-based food pantries to help needy students and families.

The board also approved the 2016-2017 student discipline code.
