AS PASSED LEGISLATURE

BACKGROUND:

The Washington State School Directors' Association consists of school district board members from throughout the state.  The association was first established in the mid-1920s, and became a state agency in the mid- 1940s.

Officers of the association, which include a president, 1st vice president, 2nd vice president, and an immediate past president, are currently paid only expenses such as travel, food, and lodging when they are carrying out business of the association.

In December 1989, the association's 20-member board of directors passed a resolution, contingent upon approval of the Legislature, to allow officers of the association to be paid up to $50 a day when conducting association business.

SUMMARY:

The Washington State School Directors' Association is given the power to employ an executive director, instead of an executive secretary.  In addition to subsistence payments, the association is authorized to compensate officers for each day they attend an official meeting or perform duties approved by the association's board of directors.
