Each Illinois school board member who is elected or appointed to fill a vacancy of at least one year’s duration must complete State-mandated professional development leadership training (PDLT), plus specific training for voting on dismissals under the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA),  and Open Meetings Act (OMA) training. State-mandated training is also required for board members who want to vote upon a dismissal based upon the Performance Evaluation Reform Act. For additional information, see Board policy 2:120, Board Member Development.

 

The following table contains State-mandated training requirements and other professional development activities that were completed by each Board member.
