Conferences and Visitations

Conferences and Visitations

            An employee wishing to attend any conference, meeting, or convention may be absent for such purpose upon approval of the Superintendent, if such attendance will be in the interest of the schools. Within budgetary limitations, the Board may, upon recommendation of the Superintendent, waive salary deduction for an employee whose attendance at the conference, meeting, or convention is required by reason of his/her holding an important office or committee membership, or by reason of his/her having to appear as a speaker on the program. Further, the Board is authorized to pay all or any part of expenses of any personnel whom it may designate to represent it at any such professional or educational meeting or in visitation to another school system.

            Application and notification to attend a conference or etc. must be made and approved two weeks in advance. These absences should not exceed three days during the school term.
