Dr. Ronald Fritz, president of the Center School District Board of Education, has achieved Master Board Member Certification by the Missouri School Boards’ Association (MSBA) for completing additional advanced training beyond the 18.5-hour mandatory training and annual refresher training all newly elected school board members are required to complete by state law.
Master Certification requires board members to complete 40 hours of training, read two books related to school board service, attend two MSBA meetings within the year and submit an essay connecting the subjects they have studied with the governance practices of the district they serve.
