Self-Guided Joint Training for School Board Chairs and Superintendents

​​

In 2013, the Vermont General Assembly established a legal requirement for school board chairs and superintendents to complete eight hours of joint annual training on key governance topics (16 V.S.A. § 561(b)). Since then, the Vermont School Boards Association (VSBA) and the Vermont Superintendents Association (VSA) have supported districts in meeting this requirement.
 

In response to requests from boards for greater flexibility, in 2024, the VSBA and VSA developed this guidance document to help chairs and superintendents meet the requirement through a combination of offerings. Notably, joint attendance at the VSBA/VSA Annual Conference fulfills all eight hours of required training.
