Journal Offers Insights to New Board Members

The May/June issue of the Illinois School Board Journal welcomes new school board members and offers information on school board work for everyone. The Journal has asked experienced school board members for advice and encouragement to those wearing a school board member “hat” for the first time. Discover what they wish they had known when they started, what they have to say now about board service, and what to expect in the governance role. New and continuing board members can benefit from these contributions as well, plus new information on the Evidence-Based Funding formula, and expert commentary on policy work, social media, developing the governance team, advocacy in action, and more.

The print edition of the Journal is expected in mailboxes on or about May 8 and is being mailed to individuals in the IASB database as of April 15. The complete digital edition of the May/June Illinois School Board Journal is publicly available now.
