Essential Onboarding & Training for SGC Members

All new School Governance Council (SGC) members must complete essential onboarding training to support their success in this important role. We've created a dedicated training site to guide you through every step—from onboarding and officer responsibilities to committee-specific trainings.

Access Your Training on Canvas
We use Canvas as our learning management system to host all SGC training modules. These courses are self-paced, accessible any time, and include a completion badge at the end of each course.

Deadline: Please complete your training before your first SGC meeting. You’ll retain access throughout your entire SGC term, so you can revisit content anytime.

Stay Updated: More trainings will be released soon. Be sure to log into Canvas regularly to check for updates and track your progress.

SGC Officer Training - Interactive Sessions

Unlike our self-paced Canvas modules, this in-person SGC Officer Training offers a more interactive and in-depth opportunity to strengthen your skills as a School Governance Council officer.

Participants will:

  • Gain hands-on practice in conducting and facilitating effective council meetings.

  • Work through real-world governance scenarios in a collaborative setting.

  • Receive direct guidance and feedback from our Governance Facilitators.

This is a great chance to build confidence, connect with fellow officers, and sharpen the leadership skills needed to guide your council’s work.

Please review the available training dates using the link below and sign up for one session that works best for you.

Fall 2025 Cross Council Events

The Governance & Flexibility Team is excited to invite all School Governance Councils to our Fall Cross Council events—two engaging mornings designed to connect, collaborate, and inspire.

 Dates & Locations

  • Monday, September 29 | South Learning Center | 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
  • Friday, October 3 | North Learning Center | 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

These sessions are a unique opportunity for SGC members to learn from district leaders, the Governance & Flexibility Team, and each other. They bring together councils from across the district, creating space for collaboration within feeder patterns and across grade bands.

This year’s theme centers on three key pillars:

  • Teamwork – Kicking off the governance year with energy and excitement for our shared work
  • Integrity – Defining our goals and committing to action within our schools
  • Accountability – Monitoring strategic priorities and sharing progress with our stakeholders

We are asking each school to send at least one representative to one of the two events (both sessions will cover the same material). Once every school has a representative registered, we will open additional spots for other members who would like to join.

Register now via our Sign-up Genius link to secure your spot and join us in shaping another successful year of governance in Fulton County Schools.
