Members of the Andalusia City School Board of Education recently earned recognition for completion of all School Board Governance Improvement Act training requirements for the year.
In 2012, the Alabama Legislature passed the School Board Governance Improvement Act, commonly referred to as the “Governance Act.”
The act has six parts, each of which impacts board service. The Governance Act:
- Specifies responsibilities of board members
- Establishes minimum qualifications to serve on a local school board
- Requires new board members to affirm they understand the principles of educational governance
- Requires local boards to adopt a Code of Conduct
- Provides for sanctions for violations of the Governance Act
- Requires training of all city and county school board members
