Experienced SBDM Member Training Opportunity
KDE is offering a free virtual training through Microsoft TEAMS for experienced SBDM council members.
The training will be conducted over the course of two days and each mini-session lasts 1.5 hours. Participants must attend both sessions in order to meet the three-hour annual training requirement for experienced members.
KDE will train council members on the "Council’s Role with Continuous Improvement" module.
- Part One: "Council’s Role with Continuous Improvement" at 9:30-11 a.m. ET on June 22
- Part Two: "Council’s Role with Continuous Improvement" at 9:30-11 a.m. ET on June 23
Registration for the June training will be available in May.
Database Review
KDE will soon be closing out the current year’s SBDM verification database to gear up for the next council term.
Please take time to access the SBDM verification database and review the data that is entered for your district. Make sure all council members are entered and that the names are spelled correctly. Accuracy is key, so please make changes as necessary!
This information is transferred into each school’s School Report Card. If you need access to the database, please email Ashlie Cox.
