Committee advances bill to require school‑board governance training options
Summary
AB 640 would require school‑district and charter governing board members to receive foundational training in public‑school finance and accountability; the bill advanced out of committee and is due to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Assemblymember Marucci said AB 640 would require members of governing boards for school districts, county offices of education and charter school governing bodies to receive training in two areas: K–12 public‑school finance and state accountability laws. She said the measure responds to turnover among trustees and the difficulty newcomers face overseeing multimillion‑dollar budgets.
