Training & Workshops
The required new School Board training sessions are offered at no cost to the Districts that have joined the ESC Superintendent and School Board Leadership Cooperative. For Districts that are not part of this Cooperative, the fees are $200 per Board member participant or $1200 for the entire Board team.
The Board training sessions can be accessed through our workshop registration system found on our website or you may contact Ruben Martinez at 361‐561‐8455 or [email protected]. For districts not part of the Cooperative, you will need a purchase order number for the registration.
A variety of training programs, including new board member orientation, are available to meet local district needs for mandated school board member training and are correlated to the statewide standards or duties of a school board member.
