OAG 83-228 was Followed by OAG 85-53

OAG 83-228 is cited to support the conclusion that local boards of education can legally pay the expenses for school board members to attend professional activities, similar to how they pay for teachers and administrators. The decision extends the reasoning from OAG 83-228, which allowed for the payment of expenses for teachers and administrators, to also include school board members, especially in light of the mandatory nature of the fifteen hours of in-service training.
