AP 2740 Board Member Education
References:
There is no Oregon statutory requirement.
Board members may participate in opportunities for development, including, but not limited to:
- In-service activities, special meetings or retreats planned by the Board or the College, as needed;
- Conferences held by the Oregon Community College Association, State Board of Education and other state and national school board associations, and educational organizations;
- Subscriptions to publications applicable to Board membership and/or community college issues and concerns.
For better control of the investment of time and funds needed to support these learning activities, the Board established these guidelines:
- Funds for participation at such meetings will be budgeted.
- The College President will inform board members, in a timely manner, of upcoming conferences that may be of interest.
- The Board will discuss and decide which meetings appear to be most likely to produce the greatest benefit to the Board and the District;
- When funds are limited, the Board will designate which members, if interested, would be most appropriate, to participate in a particular given meeting or activity.
- If authorized to attend, and reimbursement is approved by the Board, members will be reimbursed, upon request, for reasonable and necessary expenses actually incurred.
- When a conference or workshop is not attended by the full Board, those who do participate will be requested to share, by means of written or oral reports, information, recommendations, and materials acquired at the meeting.
