216 Board Member Services

Individual board members provide a vital public service to the school district by serving on a Board that is confronted by a dynamic array of issues challenging public education on the local, state, and national levels.

It is in the best interest of the students and communities served by the schools that board members be provided with ongoing development opportunities on local, regional, state, and national levels.

Board members are encouraged to participate in development programs at district expense whenever the program reasonably appears to be beneficial to the Board/district operations. Expenses shall be reimbursed according to established board policy.
