What this means for your family
Board members attending these conferences receive training on state budgets, educational policy, and governance practices that inform their decision-making on behalf of Reed Union students. Better-trained board members can make more informed decisions about school programs, budgets, and policies that directly affect your child's education. Conference attendance is paid through district funds.
