The board encourages the administrators to be involved in the school district community by belonging to community organizations, and by attending and participating in school district community activities.
It is the responsibility of the administrators to become involved in school district community activities and events. The board may include a lump sum amount for one civic organization per building as part of the administrator's compensation to be used specifically for paying the annual fees of the administrator for school district community activities and events if, in the board's judgment, the administrator's participation shall further the public purpose of promoting and deriving support for the school district and public education in general. It is within the discretion of the board to pay annual fees for professional organizations and activities.
