N.C.G.S. 115C-50 requires all local board members to receive a minimum of 12 clock hours of training annually. The North Carolina School Boards Association sponsors workshops and training activities throughout the year as an avenue for board members to comply with this requirement. In addition, members may attend local, non-sponsored training activities to earn CEU hours toward the required total. The applications for local CEU credit require board approval.
 
A motion is in order to approve the following applications for local, non-sponsored credit:
 
1.      Sue Fox, 10 clock hours, “TCS Administrators’ Retreat”, August 4, 2011
2.      Tawny McCoy, 5 clock hours, “TCS Administrators’ Retreat”, August 4, 2011
3.      Chris Whitmire, 9 clock hours, “TCS Administrators’ Retreat”, August 4, 2011
