Professional, Civic and Service Organization Memberships
District staff and school board members are encouraged to be members of and participate in professional associations which have as their purposes the upgrading of school administration and the continued improvement of education in general.
District staff and school board members are encouraged to be active participants in civic and service organizations in the community. The board of directors believes that the district will benefit from the participation of district staff in civic and service organizations in the community because of improved reciprocal understanding and communication between community leaders and district staff and the board. This will lead to increased community support for the schools, school programs that are more responsive to the needs of the community and opportunities for cooperative support of school and community programs.
Membership fees, travel and meal costs attributable to an employee’s participation in civic and service organizations may be paid by the district.
