The Governing Board encourages the use of consultants when it is clear they can provide valuable and necessary specialized services not normally required on a continuing basis and which cannot be provided by district personnel because of limitations of time, experience or knowledge.
Consultants as used in this policy are individuals, firms, or organizations employed to provide specific technical or training services, or professional, technical, or expert advise, opinion, or guidance to management personnel on a limited and as needed basis which may assist management in decision-making and/or project development.
