Series 9000: Bylaws of the Board

9360 Legislative Program

The Board of Education, as an agent of the state, must operate within the bounds of the state and  federal law affecting public education. If the Board is to meet its responsibilities to the residents  and students of the community, it must work vigorously for the passage of new laws designed to advance the cause of good schools and for the repeal or modification of existing laws that impede this cause. To this end: 

1. The Board will develop an annual legislative program through conferences with the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education and the National School Boards Association. 

2. When appropriate, the Board will work for the achievement of common legislative objectives through these associations and with the other concerned groups. 

3. The Board will also seek both direct and indirect representation of its position on pending legislation with appropriate state and federal legislators and legislative committees.
