Funding laws could disallow this. For example, in Indiana, two schools cannot jointly hire a teacher. They can both hire the teacher part-time if they'd like, but the teacher wouldn't get full-time benefits. (My father worked as a business manager in different school systems in Indiana).
The entire reason for this is funding laws. I think this is a consequence of funding schools through property taxes, but I'm not sure. I'd really like some of this to be changed so there is more flexibility and less difference between area schools, but that isn't how these are designed.
