1500 Relations between Area, State, Regional and National Associations and the Schools

Membership in recognized associations such as the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education may 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 Board of Education may budget funds for memberships to be approved and for the costs of appropriate participation by Board members, administration and staff in the activities of such associations.
