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

1. Benefits to staff and board of education from professional meetings, conferences, clinics and conventions.

2. Access to the communication media of such associations, such as newsletters, periodicals and advisory services.

3. Representation in legislative and other actions affecting education generally and our school district in particular.

The superintendent of schools shall budget funds for memberships approved by the board and for the costs of appropriate participation by board members, administration and staff in the activities of such associations.
