Virtual Spring Regional Meetings
In this unprecedented time, we regret that we are unable to convene the regional meetings in person. Nevertheless, we are able to provide most of the content that was planned for the meetings. The program topics were developed based on your feedback in the 2019 Spring Regional Meeting evaluation. You may view any or all of the programs that are of interest.
Board Member Certification
You can still fulfill the Spring Regional Meeting requirement for board member certification. To receive core meeting and strand credit for Advanced, Master or Distinguished board member certification, view a program and submit either the associated Board Member Verification Form or Governance Team Verification Form. You may earn strand credit for any and all programs you view and submit the corresponding verification form. Forms are due to MSBA no later than May 22, 2020 to be relevant for 2020 awards.
Governance Team Award
You can also fulfill the Spring Regional Meeting requirement for the 2020 Governance Team Award by taking the following steps:
• Each person participating must view the video either individually or as a group.
• Convene at least three board members and the superintendent to discuss the program. You may convene by conference call, videoconference or in person if observing safe distance and sanitation rules.
