Current Trustee Training Requirements

Serving as a school board member comes with plenty of challenges. Earning and reporting training credit hours shouldn’t be one of them.

• Update to the Texas Education Code
• Team-building Session
• Additional Continuing Education
• Evaluating and Improving Student Outcomes
