The Member Assistance Fund is set up to defray costs of districts experiencing financial hardship and that see costs as a deterrent to accessing MASB services or events.
The school board must apply for the 50% discount off a MASB service or workshop through board action1 (up to $1,500), but individual board members can apply separately for 50% off member training (up to $250 for an individual). Funds are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
1 Board action must include either a copy of the minutes noting the decision or a signed letter from the district superintendent.
