Rodney Brown, member of the Worth County Board of Education, recently completed school board training sessions sponsored by the Missouri Association of Rural Educators held in Stanberry. With the enactment of Senate Bill 380, "The Outstanding Schools Act of 1993," all newly elected/appointed school board members must complete at least 16 hours of orientation and training within one year following their election/appointment.
Specific topics included in the training sessions were Establishment of the Board and Responsibilities, The Effective Board Member, Public School Laws of Missouri, School Finance, Assessment of Students and the Local School District, and District Long Range Planning.
Attendance at these sessions fulfills the required 16 hours of certification training. Training is only provided by organizations that have received approval by the State Board of Education. MARE annually provides training at several locations around the state. To learn more about the Missouri Association of Rural Educators, visit their website at www.moare.com
