Policy No. 1830

Board of Directors

PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL BOARD’S ASSOCIATION

As required by law, the board members are members of the Washington State School Directors’ Association.  Since the association establishes the rate of membership dues at its annual meeting, provides services in response to members’ needs and develops and implements a legislative program at the direction of its members, board members are encouraged to participate in the governance of the association.

Consultants to the Board

The Board may engage persons in an advisory capacity when specific services are required that are beyond the capabilities or responsibilities of regularly employed personnel.

Such advisors may include attorneys, auditors, architects, agents of record, and others with technical skills or professional training.

The Board may appoint such advisors to serve for a specified period of time or may engage such advisors to perform specific tasks on a temporary basis.  Except where the advisor serves under a written contract for a specified period of time, the Board may terminate such advisory services at its sole discretion.
