Subject:

Renewal of Membership in the Minnesota School Boards Association

Background:

The Minnesota School Boards Association is a service organization for Minnesota school districts.  The organization is directed by a Board of Directors consisting of local school board members elected from director districts.  The Association provides legislative assistance, assistance with negotiations, informational services regarding finance and legal matters, and in-service opportunities for School Board members. 
 
Membership dues for District 77 for 2016-17 are $12,258.  This amount is determined by way of a formula based upon the number of students in our District.  The membership dues for 2015-16 were $11,590 and the slight increase for the current year is due to our increased enrollment numbers.  

Recommended Action:

The administrative team recommends continued membership.  Statutes require that election for membership in the MSBA pass by a two-thirds majority vote.
