Local school board member achieves Advanced Certification

Amy Sue Reinhard, a school board member from the North Callaway R-1 School District, has been recognized for achieving Advanced Certification in the Missouri School Boards' Association Certified Board Member program.

The program established by MSBA recognizes local school board members for pursuing additional learning opportunities beyond the legally required training.

All newly elected school board members must complete a basic 18.5-hour essential training required by state law. Those members achieving Advanced Certification must complete an additional 12 hours of training, read two books related to school board service, attend at least two MSBA regional or statewide events and write brief reflection paper relating their study to their board service.

Due to the coronavirus restrictions, board members achieving certification will be recognized during the MSBA Annual Conference in cooperation with the Missouri Association of School Administrators in September.

The Missouri School Boards' Association is a nonprofit organization that exists to help school boards succeed.
