Garfield Re-2 Policies

In keeping with the need for continuing inservice training and development for its members, the Board encourages the participation of all members at appropriate school board conferences, workshops and conventions.  However, in order to control both the investment of time and funds necessary to implement this policy, the Board establishes these principles and procedures for its guidance:

1. A calendar of school board conferences, conventions and workshops shall be maintained by the Board secretary.  The Board shall decide periodically which meetings appear to be most promising in terms of producing direct and indirect benefits to the school district.  At least annually the Board shall identify those new ideas, procedures or possible benefits that might result from participation at such meetings.

2. Funds for participation at such meetings shall be budgeted for on an annual basis.  When funds are limited, the Board shall designate which of its members would be the most appropriate to participate at a given meeting.

3. When a conference, convention or workshop is not attended by the full Board, those who do participate will be requested to share information, recommendations and materials acquired at the meeting.
