Community Relations

Relations between Area, State, Regional and National Associations

Membership in recognized associations will be maintained by the school for several reasons, including:

1. In-service benefits resulting from board and employee participation in meetings, conferences, clinics and conventions.

2. Communication media provided by such associations, such as newsletters, journals, periodicals, advisory services and similar services.

3. Representation of school district in actions affecting education in general and the school district in particular.

Membership in recognized associations shall in no way constitute an abdication of the board’s authority and responsibility for the governance of the school as provided for in board policies and state statutes.

The superintendent is authorized to budget funds for the costs of membership in recognized associations for payment of the costs of participation by board members and personnel of the district in the activities of such associations.
