0142.3 - ORIENTATION
The Board of Education believes that the preparation of each Board member for the performance of Board duties is essential to the effectiveness of the Board's functioning. The Board encourages each new Board member to understand the functions of the Board, acquire knowledge of matters related to the operation of the schools, and learn Board procedures. Accordingly, each new Board member, no later than his/her first regular meeting as a Board member, shall receive for use during his/her term on the Board:
- a copy of the Ohio Ethics Law as required by R.C. 102.09(D);
- a copy of the Board policy manual;
- a copy of each current negotiated agreement;
- the current budget statement, audit report, and related fiscal materials.
The Board will establish and maintain a library of publications and reference materials for the use of Board members and will provide a new Board member with a list of references that should be reviewed prior to being sworn in.
Each new Board member shall be invited to meet with the Board President, Superintendent, and Treasurer to discuss Board functions, policies, and procedures.
New Board members shall be invited to attend all meetings of the Board until sworn in.
The Board shall encourage the attendance of each new Board member at orientation and training meetings.
