The Basics of Governance

IASB In-District Workshop:
The Basics of Governance

Your success depends on your ability to work with the rest of the board and the superintendent. School Board work is a group effort. This workshop will focus on board and board member roles and responsibilities, and how boards in high functioning districts can make a positive impact on student learning. Specifically, this workshop will help you to identify the role and work of the school board, distinguish board work from that of the superintendent and staff, understand how each member relates to the full board, and discuss effective board and board member best practices.

This introduction to the Foundational Principles of Effective Governance is a great place to start your board learning.
