BACKGROUND:
General Policy No. 005 involves the periodic review of Board Policies and indicates that the review shall be every three years.
Pursuant to General Policy No. 005, staff has conducted a review of Education and Training Policy No. 001 (Trustees Education/Training Policy) and recommends two areas of change:
1. Updating the list of optional education providers and sponsors; and

Trustees already provide a verbal report at each Board meeting on events attended at the expense of SBCERA. In addition, each year, SBCERA publishes on its website a compliance report listing all trustee educational hours.
