Board votes to rejoin MSBA, accept policy maintenance service and rejoin 'mayor' membership
Summary
The board voted to rejoin the Missouri School Boards' Association (MSBA), accept full policy maintenance service, and rejoin 'mayor' membership (as described in the agenda). Staff said MSBA provides legal and policy support and helps track legislative changes.
The Northridge School District Board of Education voted July 14 to rejoin MSBA, accept the full policy maintenance service agreement, and rejoin the membership described in the agenda as the "mayor" membership. Staff told the board that MSBA membership provides support services, including legal advice and policy-update recommendations; staff recommended continued membership to help the district remain current on new legislation. Staff said the district previously reduced its MSBA membership tier from a higher level to a lower-cost option and recommended continuing the current level of service and the policy-maintenance invoice. Board members asked about the division of labor between MSBA advice and the district’s attorney; staff said for general legislative guidance they rely on MSBA, but for personnel or liability issues they would consult the district’s attorney. A board motion to rejoin MSBA and accept the policy maintenance service agreement passed with all members voting in favor.
