Board members get to choose one of these topics to review as part of their training:

• The Annual Performance Report (APR) - updated for 2025-26

• Authentic Community Engagement

• The Sunshine Law

• Board Member Confidentiality - new for 2025-26

Board members may review multiple topics if they choose, but only one is required.

Registration is open on the MSBA Portal. You can register yourself or ask your Board Secretary to do it for you. For registration help, call 573-208-7847 or email training@mosba.org.  

• Missouri law (§ 162.203, RSMo.) requires all school board members to complete 18.5 hours of new board member training in the first year of service. In each following board term year, the law requires you to complete one hour of Board Member Refresher training. 

  
  

• MSBA Refresher training is free for all school board members.
