Janet Jones, a member of the Raymore-Peculiar Board of Education, has achieved Advanced Board Member Certification from the Missouri School Boards’ Association.
The board member certification program established by MSBA recognizes school board members who choose to complete additional professional development requirements beyond the 18 ½ hours of training required by the Outstanding Schools Act of 1993 for new board members.
To achieve Advanced Certification, board members must earn at least 12 additional training credits, complete annual Refresher training requirement through MSBA, read two books related to school board service, attend at least two MSBA regional or statewide events and write an essay relating their study to their board service.
Jones was recognized for the achievement during the MSBA Summer Summit in Branson on June 16.
The Missouri School Boards’ Association is a private, not-for-profit organization that exists to help public school boards ensure all students succeed.
