Section 6.80.5.10 - GOVERNING BODY TRAINING REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE

A. Annually no later than July 1, each charter school shall ensure the department receives a record of attendance and completion for all governing body members who served on the governing body in the prior fiscal year. The record of attendance and completion may be provided either by the charter school or by the approved provider that provided the governing body training. Records are subject to verification by the department.

B. Records of attendance and completion shall include:

(1) the name of the governing body member;

(2) the name of the school for which the identified governing body member serves on the governing body; and

(3) the governing body training's department-assigned training course code.

C. Failure to timely provide records of attendance and completion of the required number of governing body training hours for all governing body members who served on the governing body of the school in a fiscal year shall be reported by the department to the authorizer. Additionally, the non-compliance may result in progressive disciplinary action by the department or the authorizer, based on the authority of that entity, which may include but is not limited to:

(1) requiring the creation of a corrective action plan and completion of mandatory department-provided governing body training at the expense of the school or governing body member for any non-compliant governing body member who is still serving on the governing body;

(2) withholding, by the department, of no more than five percent of the charter school's monthly funding until the school comes into compliance with the requirements when the school has failed to comply with its corrective action plan and has one or more non-compliant members still serving on the governing body;

(3) suspension, by the department, of any or all of the governing body's authority when the school has failed to comply with its corrective action plan, funding has been withheld for at least 30 days, and the non-compliant governing body member is still serving on the governing body; and

(4) revocation or non-renewal of the school's charter when prior disciplinary action has not resulted in the school becoming compliant and has the non-compliant governing body member still serving on the governing body.
