New Worth County board members Josh Fletchall and Brad Maudlin have completed school board training sessions sponsored by the Missouri Association of Rural Education held at the Holiday Inn in Maryville.
With the enactment of Senate Bill 380, The Outstanding Schools Act of 1993, all newly elected or appointed board members must complete at least 18 hours and 30 minutes of orientation and training within one year following their election or appointment.
Specific topics included establishment of the board and responsibilities, the effective board member, public school laws of Missouri, school finance, assessment of students, identifying signs of sexual abuse in children, danger signals of potentially abusive relationships between adults and children, and long range planning.
Attendance at the sessions, along with successful completion of pre-training requirements, fulfills the required 18.5 hours of certification training. Training is only provided by organizations approved by the State Board of Education.
