BOARDSMANSHIP
As the task of educating our youth must be a top priority of the communities served by the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Community School District, the board of directors shall dedicate themselves to becoming informed on current educational issues, research and trends. To this end every director is encouraged to:
* complete level 1 ABLE training provided by the Iowa Association of School Boards by the end of their first term
* conduct periodic planning workshops to assess board performance, assess established board goals, and set new goals as deemed necessary and appropriate
* attend the annual state conference of the Iowa Association of School Boards
* attend other area, regional, state or national meetings related to education.
To stay abreast of national trends and successful cutting-edge programs, the superintendent shall budget sufficient funds to provide for the participation of all directors in the boardsmanship activities listed above. In addition, funds shall be provided for two directors to attend the national NASB or AASA conference every other year.
In recognition of a director’s dedication to service, directors who qualify for the Better Boardsmanship Award shall be recognized by the local board and their accomplishment announced through the local media.
