North Carolina statute requires all board of education members to receive a minimum of 12 hours of training every two years.  Board policy states that members who attend a professional development activity will provide a report of the event to other board members.  On September 28, the board and the superintendent attended the NCSBA District 8 Meeting in Asheville.  On October 11-13, Chairman McCoy, Mrs. McGaha, and Mrs. Wellborn attended the NCSBA Fall Law Conference in Asheville.  Members will have an opportunity to give brief reports from the meetings.
