Key Takeaways

  • •The superintendent may sell any publication they produce.
  • •The price can’t be higher than the estimated cost to print it, and the board of education must approve the price.
  • •All money from the sales goes back into the fund that covered the printing costs.
  • •The superintendent can’t publish anything that isn’t already allowed by law.

Example
