How Does MCSBA Function?
STANDING COMMITTEES SET DIRECTION.
|
Executive |
Board presidents and superintendents meet 4-5 times a year to govern MCSBA and approve
its
operating budget. |
|
Steering |
Officers, committee chairs, and others selected by the president advise staff on program,
agenda, and financial matters. |
|
Information Exchange |
One representative and one alternate from each district discuss current issues in
education
and plan 1-2 meetings for all MCSBA members. |
|
Labor Relations |
One representative and one alternate from each district develop positions on labor issues,
share information, and plan a meeting on labor issues for all MCSBA members. |
|
Legislative |
One representative and one alternate from each district review legislation, develop
position papers, contact legislators, and educate other MCSBA members on current issues.
