May 14, 2016 -Regional Cooperative Training (Northern Kentucky Collaborative for Educational Services) Erlanger KY
Since the revised regulation that governs school board training went into effect in January 2014, KSBA has been working hard to create a variety of strategies to allow school board members to meet the new topical requirements of ethics, finance and superintendent evaluation training.

One important way we can connect to our members, and connect them to each other, is through regional training options. To do this, we are pleased to announce a partnership with each of the education cooperatives across the state. These convenient sessions provide special one-hour versions of workshops that meet the annual requirements for ethics, finance and superintendent evaluation training, while allowing members to choose only the sessions they need or want.
