Abstract
Private industry may host teacher workshops which assist the governmental entity in carrying out its mandated responsibilities. The receipt of training is of benefit to the governmental entity and the entity may accept the teacher workshop as long as there is no intent to influence the effect therefrom. The group invitation and spending limitations applicable to public official's and public employee's receipt of things of value from a lobbyist's principal do not apply to a lobbyist's principal providing teacher workshops to a local school district and its teachers.
