Code Number: 205.2
In order to advance their understanding of relevant laws, (including the regulations of the Iowa Department of Education) and their general knowledge of the educational aims and objectives of public schools and school boards, Board members are encouraged to attend educational conferences and workshops such as those presented by the state and national school board associations and to exchange ideas through joint meetings with other school boards.
The Board may maintain membership in state and/or national associations
As many Board members as possible should attend meetings that benefit the District
Board members are encouraged to attend conferences such as those offered by the National School Boards Association and the annual IASB Convention in Des Moines. The Board should also have representation on the Washington D.C. legislative delegation coordinated each year by the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce Day at the Capitol in Des Moines.
An annual line-item budget will be established to support Board expenditures incurred in pursuit of these objectives.
