    Is there special training involved in being a school trustee?

     Trustees are required by Texas law and commissioner of education rules to participate in three types of continuing education:

    • An orientation to local district policy and to the laws affecting public education in Texas.
    • An annual team-building activity, taken in conjunction with the rest of the board and the superintendent.
    • A specified number of hours each year in areas of special need. Board members determine needs with their board annually by reviewing the Framework for School Board Development, a document that outlines the tasks an effective board performs in its governing capacity. Continuing education courses that address these needs are available through a variety of sources.
