Delegate Assembly During a Pandemic
The 2020 IASB Delegate Assembly will meet in an all-online setting via Zoom on November 14, 2020. To prepare school boards for the new format, IASB will host an informational webinar to explain the virtual Delegate Assembly and discuss the process for 2020. The webinar is scheduled for September 28 at 5 p.m. and will cover the procedure for this year’s assembly. Under normal circumstances, the Delegate Assembly is held at the Joint Annual Conference in Chicago in November. That event has been canceled for 2020.COVID-19 Guidance and Resources
During this unprecedented national health emergency, school districts face a myriad of issues in terms of dealing with school governance and operations. IASB has compiled guidance to assist boards of education as they prepare to confront the challenges of the 2020-2021 school year. Local boards of education are encouraged to use these resources to spur conversation on the critical issues involving governance, policies, programming, personnel, health and safety of the school community, and the fiduciary responsibility of the board of education.
