ASBSD invites school board members, superintendents and business managers from member districts to our 2014 Legislative Day on Tuesday, February 18.

 

ASBSD Legislative Day is a day of advocacy and action in support of public education.

 

 

School board members and administrators are invited to Pierre to learn about the latest status of bills impacting K-12 schools and to visit the Capitol to meet with legislators and make the collective K-12 education voice heard.

 

The event will be held at the Lutheran Memorial Church (320 E Prospect Ave., across street from the Capitol building) in Pierre beginning at 12 p.m. Agenda items include:

• Pre-luncheon – Meet and lobby with your legislators on your own in the morning and invite them to join you at the noon luncheon.
• 12 p.m. – Luncheon at Lutheran Memorial Church
• 1 p.m. – Review of legislative issues and lessons on effective advocacy
• 2 p.m. – Networking/Lobbying at the Capitol.

Legislative Day also allows ASBSD to recognize the year’s Outstanding School Board Member Robert Graff of the Agar-Blunt-Onida School District.

 

Members attending the ASBSD Legislative Day earn 5 Better Boardsmanship Credits toward the ASBSD Award of Merit.

If an individual is unable to attend, cancellation must be completed by Thursday, Feb. 13 or a $15 cancellation fee will be applied.
