MTSBA's Negotiations/Policy Symposium - Onsite Registration Available

3rd Annual Negotiations/Policy Symposium

July 21 & 22 (Onsite Registration Available)
MTSBA Headquarters – 4th Floor
863 Great Northern Blvd.
Helena, MT 

As you may recall, in order to maximize the professional development opportunities for trustees and staff leadership, and to save our members on time and travel expenses, we have combined our Strategic Negotiations and Policy Conference into 2 full-days in July.  All or a portion of this training is free to those of you that are members of our labor and/or policy maintenance service programs (see additional information below). If you are not a current member of our labor and/or policy maintenance service programs, you should give serious consideration to taking advantage of these two programs as they can save your district both time and money. For those of you that are not members of these two programs, we have also discounted the fee for those who register and attend both days.

Day 1 (July 21st) will be devoted to Negotiation issues and how to negotiate for student success.  
Day 2 (July 22nd) will be focused on School District Policy issues and how to directly link the work of the Board to student achievement.

A full agenda will be posted for your review shortly.  Registration is now open and space is limited so register early to ensure a spot. All or a part of this Symposium is free to your District if:

•your District is a member of MTSBA’s Personnel Services Maintenance Program, your District can attend Day 1 for free;

•your District is a member of MTSBA’s Policy Maintenance Program, your District can attend Day 2 for free; 

•your District is a member of MTSBA’s Personnel Services Maintenance Program AND Policy Maintenance Program, your District attends both days free of charge.   

If your District is not signed up for either our Personnel Services Maintenance Program and/or our Policy Maintenance Program, the fees are as follows:

• $200 discounted fee for those who are planning on attending both days
