School District Subscription Service: A School District Subscription service is offered for one (1) employee of a district at both the professional and associate levels that has policies prohibiting individual association memberships. The subscription provides for one person the same benefits as a professional membership; it is not a multi-person subscription.
Note: A paid, active membership granted to a particular person in a school district/organization may be transferred to a different person within that same school district/organization for the remaining term of the membership only upon the request of the person originally granted the membership; membership is held by a person, not by the person's employer.
