"What do you want your school community to say about your board in two years?” This legacy question motivated the board-superintendent team at Albia Schools to develop collective board goals and operating principles with an emphasis on relationships, trust, and respect. Join members of Albia’s governance team as they share their journey while providing opportunities for reflection and discussion on how your district can leverage your governance roles to make a positive and significant difference.

Public Funds for Public Purpose—Funding Student Activity Programs
Thursday November 21, 2024 2:00pm - 2:45pm CST
According to Iowa Code, public money may only be spent for pubic purpose. This can be challenging for districts since 'public purpose' has a flexible and expansive scope. In this session, join experts from the Iowa Department of Education who will help you identify allowable uses of the student activity fund revenues, determine allowable sources to pay for student activity programming, understand the board's authority to locally define public purpose, and contrast the application of public purpose as defined through various public purpose policies.
