  • KSBA's 2026 webinar series offers school board members with convenient, one-hour opportunities each month to earn state-mandated training in timely topics.

    Information is presented through the lens of school board service, although all are welcome to participate.

    Each webinar is available at a cost of $75 per session. Pre-registration is required and the fee must be paid with a credit card at the time of registration. Registrations are non-refundable; however, if a registrant is unable to participate in the live webinar, a recorded version of the webinar will be made available to all registrants 1-2 weeks following the live event. School board members may still earn credit by watching the recording of the webinar after the fact and applying as a self-study credit.

                August 20, 2026 - 12:00-1:00 p.m. (ET) - Board leadership essentials: Your public image

                Meets state-mandated ethics training requirement


                It’s not just the decisions you make as school board members that impact your district; how you do your job also influences the success of your school system. The image you project depends largely on how the governing body – your school board – conducts its public business. Do you inspire your community, or do you provide regular examples of dysfunction? Being a public official is not easy; often thankless. But we can make the experience better by adopting productive habits and focusing on becoming a healthy team.

                September 15, 2026 - 9:30-10:30 a.m. (ET) - School Safety Coordinator - The Path to Safety & Security for Every District

                Since March 11, 2019, every school district in Kentucky is required to have a designated person serving as School Safety Coordinator (SSC). We'll explore that person's role, the training involved, and the specific aspects of daily activities of the SSC. From interaction with area first responders to working with the Office of the State School Security Marshal, the SSC's path is varied and full of potentially difficult decisions at every turn. We'll cover the bases and provide you with good questions to ask about school safety in your district.

                October 15, 2026 - 12:00-1:00 p.m. (ET) - SEEK: What you need to know

                SEEK (Support Education Excellence in Kentucky) is the formula by which the state’s education funding is distributed to Kentucky’s school districts. It’s imperative that board members have a general understanding of the SEEK formula and the inputs that affect the overall revenue for their district.

                December 9, 2026 - 9:30-10:30 a.m. (ET) - Communication skills for bridging the divide

                What board members say (and how they say it) can inspire or discourage, instill confidence or doubt. Our words can navigate to common ground, or they can draw a line in the sand. In this session, learn how bad communication habits undermine your message and discuss techniques for effectively communicating in times of disagreement.
