To that end, GSBA seeks to offer Georgia's most comprehensive and extensive professional development programs for local boards of education. School Board Training and the Law GSBA designed its professional development program to comply with both the letter and spirit of Georgia law. Local school systems must maintain records and offer verification indicating that local board members have received the required annual training. The same law also mandates that veteran board members receive one day of training annually. GSBA includes training on the proper use of this instrument as part of its New Board Member Orientation.
Participants are responsible for making their own lodging arrangements.
For certain courses, pre-registered participants will be furnished a list of suggested lodging facilities. Due to varying lodging preferences, GSBA cannot be held responsible for securing room blocks at specific facilities. The faculty for GSBA's professional development programs is drawn from professional educators, experienced board members, state, regional and national experts, and others who work daily with local boards. GSBA professional development programs bring together the best and most knowledgeable practitioners as instructors and facilitators for learning. Resource materials are current and applicable.
