Resolutions and Positions
Each year, the ASBSD Delegate Assembly adopts policy statements on behalf of South Dakota school board members. ASBSD Standing Positions and Legislative Resolutions are a guide in ASBSD's advocacy, government relations and legislative efforts.
Standing positions are extensions of ASBSD's core beliefs, providing long-term guidance to ASBSD's advocacy efforts. ASBSD invites member districts to suggest changes to the standing positions, but the power to approve standing positions rests with the ASBSD Delegate Assembly.
Each year, the ASBSD Delegate Assembly adopts a slate of legislative resolutions that guide ASBSD's advocacy efforts during legislative session. ASBSD invites member districts to suggest new resolutions and amend or repeal existing resolutions.
ASBSD Policy and Resolutions Committee
The ASBSD Policy and Resolutions Committee is a core group of South Dakota school board members who develop strategy, policy statements and resolutions for consideration by the ASBSD Board of Directors and the ASBSD Delegate Assembly. The PRC plays a key role in the ASBSD Government Relations Plan by meeting throughout the year to help ASBSD act as a unifying voice for school boards and public education.
