firms; neighborhood assistance. Local and regional boards of education are authorized
to enter into agreements with business firms, as defined in section 12-631, to develop
for implementation, programs to be conducted jointly by such local or regional boards
of education and business firms which provide training and experience in the business
activities of such business firms which, in the opinion of such local or regional board
