Beginning in the 2018-2019 school year, school board directors and charter school trustees are required to complete training programs pursuant to Act 55 of 2017. School board directors or charter school trustees appointed as of July 1, 2018 will be required to complete the initial four-hour training program required under Act 55 during their first year in office. The training programs are intended to enhance the skills and knowledge necessary for individuals to serve successfully on the governing bodies of public schools across the Commonwealth.
In partnership with Charter Choices and the attorneys that are members of our Legal Advisory Council, the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools (PCPCS) is hosting this training so that we may be directly involved in the accountability and success of all Pennsylvania charter schools.
When a board member/trustee has served and completed a term then continues through to a new consecutive term, they are required to fulfill advanced training for their new term. This class is designed solely for board members/trustees fulfilling the requirement for their new term.
The trainings are free of cost as a service of our Pennsylvania Charter Schools Program (PACSP) Grant.
This is an online event! Login instructions will be sent 2 days before your event.
