| (a) The Public Retirement System Educational Training
Program, as mandated by §801.211 of the Texas Government Code,
is intended to ensure that every trustee and system administrator
of a public retirement system in Texas pursues the necessary education
relating to public pension matters throughout his or her tenure to
successfully discharge their duties.
(b) This chapter will establish Minimum Educational
Training requirements for Trustees and Administrators to help ensure
that these trustees and administrators participate in training activities
that maintain and improve their core competencies, and keep them abreast
of recent developments in public pension matters and issues impacting
their respective duties.
(c) This chapter is not intended to dictate that trustees
and system administrators pursue only the Minimum Educational Training,
but to set a minimum standard for training/education. Trustees and
system administrators are encouraged to pursue additional educational
opportunities in public pension-related areas.
