House Bill 690, passed by the 87th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2021, added Texas Education Code, §11.159(b-1), requiring the State Board of Education (SBOE) to coordinate with the Texas School Safety Center to develop training on school safety for school board trustees. In November 2021, the SBOE adopted the new school safety training. The training was first made available on TEA Learn in February 2022.
Trustees must meet the school safety training requirement by taking the SBOE-approved training every two years. Newly elected trustees who did not complete the training prior to their election have 120 days from the date of their election or appointment to complete the training. Current trustees who have not yet completed the training have until September 30, 2022, to complete the training.
The new online school safety training is available on TEA Learn at this link: SBOE School Safety Training
Trustees who complete the training receive a certificate of completion from TEA Learn. School districts must maintain verification of completion of the school safety training for each of their trustees.

When I tried to register for the new school safety training on TEA Learn, I was asked for my TEA Unique ID. Where do I find this information?
If you don't have a TEA Unique ID, please check the 'I don't have one' box next to the field that asks for your ID. You will still be able to register for, complete, and get credit for the required school safety training.
