Training

Throughout the state and all during the year, TASB offers valuable training opportunities. Although our focus is school boards, we also train district administrators, other school employees, and community members. Find us at major events featuring a wide selection of topics, at regional focused-topic workshops, or inside districts, training at your request with a customized approach.

We provide comprehensive training in school governance and leadership, specialized training for new school board members and board presidents, and other training to keep members informed and help district operations run smoothly.

Other TASB training runs the gamut in specific-topic areas:

Child care for staff
Environmental/regulatory compliance
Human resource management
Legal issues
Medicaid
Parent involvement
Policy
Risk management

The list of training that follows, grouped by program area, serves as a sample of the type of training TASB offers. Topics are subject to change as we strive to meet the current needs of our members.

Continuing Education Credit Reporting Service (CECRS)

Board members are required to receive three kinds of continuing education: Tier One (Orientation), Tier Two (Teamwork), and Tier Three (Discretionary Continuing Education). The board president must announce trustees' compliance with continuing education requirements at the meeting during which school board elections are called.

For our members' convenience, TASB maintains a voluntary database of individual member training hours. The service allows superintendents, board members, and district designees to view and print board member reports of training gained at TASB training events and also enables the local district recordkeeper to submit track credit for non-TASB-sponsored training events (conducted locally, at education service centers, or by other registered providers).

CECRS answers questions about credit requirements at tasb.org/training/cec, accessible through myTASB. Call 800.580.8272 or e-mail cec@tasb.org for information.
