Board approves continuing‑education report, defers two courses pending materials; funds member travel to national conference
Summary
The board approved its continuing-education report but deferred two courses pending additional information; it also authorized funding for three members and staff to attend the NCS annual meeting and granted two professional development hours for the session.
The Tennessee Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors approved the board's continuing-education report at its May 20 meeting but withheld approval for two course offerings pending more detail on delivery and interaction mechanisms.
Board members reviewed the education report and flagged two courses (course numbers cited in the meeting record as 1269 and 1270) that lacked sufficient detail about how the instructor would provide student interaction or ensure academic integrity for correspondence-style or home‑study offerings. The board approved the report "minus those two courses," and directed staff to request additional information; if two board reviewers confirm the new materials, the courses can be approved administratively under the board's existing practice.
The board also approved funding for attendance at the National Council of Surveying (NCS) annual meeting in New Orleans (August 19'22), authorizing support for three members and accompanying staff. The motion to fund attendance passed by voice vote.
At the end of the meeting the board approved awarding two professional development hours (PDHs) for the meeting session recorded on May 20.
Board members instructed staff to contact course providers for syllabi and delivery details and to handle administrative approvals when two reviewers determine the materials meet the board's continuing-education requirements.
