Training
Not only are students and teachers engaged in the learning process,
board members also have the opportunity to gain knowledge about school
business. The Texas Education Agency, as mandated by House Bill 72
passed in 1984, requires School Board members to participate in
annual, state-accredited training. In addition to orientation on the
basic responsibilities of School Boards, the trainings include details
on school finance, curriculum and legislation. |
