School board members training requirements modifications
This bill requires newly elected school board members in Minnesota to complete specific training on school finance and management within 180 days of taking office. The training program must be developed in consultation with the Minnesota School Boards Association and higher education representatives, and it must align with existing state guidelines. If a board member fails to finish the training by the deadline, they are prohibited from serving as an officer until they have completed the course. The changes become effective on July 1, 2026.
