Adds to existing law to provide for training for members of school boards and persons interested in serving on school boards.

The purpose of this legislation is to leverage existing allocated funds to build the capacity of our school boards in Idaho public schools. Effective school leadership is second only to the quality of classroom instruction in improving student achievement. This legislation requires school board members to receive initial and biennial professional development training. As a result this training, board members will increase the effectiveness of the time they serve and will be more focused on student achievement.
