Governance Training Requirement
Georgia law, O.C.G.A. § 20‐2‐2084(f), requires that every member of a governing board of a state charter school participate in annual governing board training. In FY24, the SCSC will offer three opportunities for state charter school board members to receive this training through the SCSC free of charge.
In order to fully participate in SCSC training for FY24, board members should plan to attend one of the three in-person training dates listed below in addition to completing asynchronous sessions provided by the SCSC. See the "FY24 Governance Training Virtual Agenda" document below for additional information on how to complete those asynchronous sessions.
