§ 1096 County Board Meeting Attendance

• •County school boards can send selected members to meetings or conventions they have joined or that are paid for by a school district.
• •The county can reimburse the member's actual costs from the general fund, but only if the spending was approved in the budget.
• •The rule applies to both regular meetings of member organizations and special conventions.

A county school board joins a state education association and sends a board member to its annual conference.

The board can use county funds to cover the member's travel, lodging, and registration fees for the conference, as long as the expenses were budgeted for in advance.
