Membership in recognized associations will be maintained by the Lincoln Public Schools for several reasons, such as:

1. the in-service education benefits to staff and the Lincoln Board of Education which come from participation in meetings, conferences, clinics, and conventions;
2. access to the communication media of such associations, such as newsletters, periodicals, and advisory services;
3. representation in actions affecting education in general and the School District in particular.

The Superintendent is authorized to budget funds for such memberships, and to pay the costs of adequate participation of staff in the activities of such associations to achieve the purposes listed above.

 

The Lincoln Public Schools may cooperate with professional educational organizations for the improvement of education.

 

The Board will maintain memberships in national and state school boards associations and will encourage its members to participate in activities of those agencies.
