BOARD DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
In keeping with the need for continued boardsmanship development, the Bonneville
Joint School District No. 93 Board of Trustees encourages subscriptions to publications
addressed to the concerns of board members, and to the participation of its members at
appropriate school board conferences, workshops, conventions held by the state and
national school boards associations, and District - sponsored in- service training
sessions. The Board believes that with proper training, it can create a positive and
productive atmosphere for decision - making and places a high priority on the
importance of a planned and continuing program of in- service education for its
members. Funds for participation at such meetings will be budgeted on an annual
basis.
