THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES <br />1640 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />BOARD DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES <br />In keeping with the need for continued boardsmanship development, the Bonneville <br />Joint School District No. 93 Board of Trustees encourages subscriptions to publications <br />addressed to the concerns of board members, and to the participation of its members at <br />appropriate school board conferences, workshops, conventions held by the state and <br />national school boards associations, and District - sponsored in- service training <br />sessions. The Board believes that with proper training, it can create a positive and <br />productive atmosphere for decision - making and places a high priority on the <br />importance of a planned and continuing program of in- service education for its <br />members. Funds for participation at such meetings will be budgeted on an annual <br />basis. <br />Guidelines <br />The central purpose of in- service education is to enhance the quality and <br />effectiveness of public school governance in our community. <br />2.
