FOREWORD TO THE BOARD POLICIES AND OPERATIONS HANDBOOK

Terms used to refer to the Board of directors and the Association in this Handbook may vary as a consequence of the drafting of policy language at the time the policies were prepared.

Missouri Association of School Business Officials: MoASBO, the Association
MoASBO Board of Directors: Full Board, MoASBO Board, Board, Board of Directors
