board members; qualifications; training requirements

HB 4114 requires all Arizona school district governing board members to complete eight hours of professional development training on school governance or attend a designated training workshop. This applies directly to every school board member statewide, adding a new mandatory requirement to their existing qualifications. The training must cover topics like school finance, student safety, open meetings, and fiduciary responsibilities as outlined in the bill. The legislation aims to ensure board members have foundational knowledge of school governance before serving.
