Core Training

Core training is NCSBA’s foundational sessions for new and veteran board members. Formerly called School Board 101, Core training is a free member benefit that helps strengthen governance skills and solidify your boardsmanship foundation.

This two-day session will cover leadership, advocacy, and the required ethics training for school board members.

Core training topics include:

• Leadership Training – basic boardsmanship dos and don’ts, board/superintendent roles and responsibilities, school finance and budget questions for the board table, advocacy, and school board liability.
• School Law Training – the required ethics training for school board members, maintaining legally compliant policies for schools, and understanding the open meetings and public records laws.

Core Training will be held on Thursday and Friday, July 16 and 17, at the NCSBA Office in Raleigh. While event registration is free, you must register in advance to participate. Onsite registrations will not be accepted.
