The Board of Trustees Training Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District of Columbia School Reform Act of 1995 to mandate that members of a public charter school's Board of Trustees complete training programs focused on best practices for school board governance. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to Section 2205, requiring that all Board members complete governance training, and introduces a new subsection to Section 2214 that outlines the specifics of this training. The training will be offered at no cost to the charter schools or their Board members and will be required annually for all members, with newly elected or appointed members needing to complete initial training within 90 days of their appointment.

The training will cover essential topics such as academic accountability systems, leadership management, fiscal management, governance responsibilities, and updates on relevant laws and regulations. The training can be delivered through various accessible modalities as determined by the Board. The act will take effect once its fiscal impact is included in an approved budget and financial plan, and it will be subject to a 30-day congressional review period following approval by the Mayor.
