About this Event

Join us in Columbia, SC, for CALN’s inaugural School Board Bootcamp—a free, comprehensive day of professional development covering the core responsibilities of school board service.

Attendees will learn from renowned experts about school board fundamentals, responsible budgeting, curriculum selection, parliamentary procedure, and how trustees can foster academic excellence in their districts.

First-time board members are strongly encouraged to attend this event. In addition, we welcome board members of all experience levels to join us and receive continuing education in these crucial areas. For those who cannot attend in person, the bootcamp will be available to watch via Zoom.
