17. Discussion Item:  Annual Announcement on Continuing Education of Board Members Presenter: Dusty Wiley Description: Board President: Under State Board of Education Rule, completing required continuing education each year of service is a basic obligation and expectation of any sitting board member. As Board President (if absent, then replace with "Presiding Officer of the Board"), I am required to announce the name of each member who: • Has completed the required continuing education; • Has exceeded the required continuing education; and • Is deficient in meeting the required continuing education. The requirements for training are measured as of the first anniversary of the date of the trustee’s election or appointment or two-year anniversary of his or her previous training, as applicable. There are eight training areas for board member continuing education: 1. Local District Orientation 2. Orientation to the Texas Education Code 3. Post-Legislative Update to the Texas Education Code 4. Team Building 5. Additional Continuing Education 6. Evaluating Student Academic Performance and Setting Goals 7. Identifying and Reporting Abuse, Trafficking, and Other Maltreatment of Children 8. School Safety To the extent applicable to each board member, I will announce the completion or deficiency as to required training. For members who still have time remaining to complete required training, I will announce those board members who have scheduled timely training and those who have not yet scheduled the training. At the conclusion of this announcement, I will announce any board member’s training in excess of the continuing education requirements. At this time, no training has been completed for the 26-27 school year.  There will be a new Trustee after May 2, we will all begin our trainings after that date.
