  • Provides funding for school districts to cover the costs of the mandatory training and continuing education

  • School districts, which will need to allocate funding and resources to support the training requirements for their staff
  • Students and families, who may benefit from more effective and knowledgeable school district leadership

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

This bill has been referred to the state Senate Education Committee for further consideration. If passed by the committee, it will then move to the full Senate for a vote.

The bill's sponsors are aiming to have it enacted into law before the start of the next school year, so that the new training requirements can be implemented in a timely manner.
