Coryell County Commissioners recently attended the 65th annual V.G. Young School for County Commissioners Courts in College Station.
The Institute provides continuing education for county judges and commissioners and attracts county officials from all areas of the state. It is known for providing accurate, timely information and well-respected speakers.
Attendees earn accredited hours of continuing education that apply toward their state-mandated continuing education requirement. Commissioners are required to attain 16 hours during every 12-month period. They may carry forward up to eight hours.
The faculty and staff of the Institute work with the officers of the professional associations and education committees to plan relevant and effective educational programs. In addition, the Institute serves as the educational sponsor for district, regional, and statewide conferences throughout the year.
Some of the key issues discussed included: public works, county vehicle inspections, grant seeking, budgeting, emergency management, groundwater considerations, civil rights, cybersecurity, investments, purchasing, and fire dilemmas.
