VII. Announce Board Continuing Education Hours Presenter: Board President, Wanese Butler Description: The State Board of Education rules require in 19 TAC, Section 61.1(j) that at the last regular meeting of the board of trustees before an election of trustees, whether or not an election is held, the current president of each local board of trustees shall announce the name of each board member who has completed the required continuing education, who has exceeded the required hours of continuing education, and who is deficient in meeting the required continuing education as of the anniversary of the date of each board member's election or appointment to the board. The announcement shall state that completing the required continuing education is a basic obligation and expectation of any sitting board member under SBOE rule. The president shall cause the minutes of the local board to reflect the announcement and, if the minutes reflect that a trustee is deficient in training as of the anniversary of his or her joining the board, the district shall post the minutes on the district's Internet website within 10 business days of the meeting and maintain the posting until the trustee meets the requirements. A summary of credit hours is enclosed for the board’s review.
