School boards have the potential to build an extraordinary future
for our children. The leadership of the school board can launch the
potential in every child and educator in their schools, or it can
cripple and discourage learning communities. Elected trustees play
a critical role in today's school systems. As policy-makers,
governors and community representatives, they influence the
direction and achievement of schools within their jurisdiction.
Administrators new to the school board table must quickly acquire
comprehensive knowledge of the mandate and purpose of the school
board, and how to work with trustees to lead the school district to
attain its educational goals. Exploring facets of school board
governance such as the role of democracy, public finance,
accountability, purposeful meetings, and how to work with the
personalities at the table, this book offers foundational training
for board members and general knowledge for persons interested in
knowing what school trustees actually do. Thoroughly understanding
the purpose of the school board, and what it means to 'guard the
trust' on behalf of the citizenry is critical to improved schools
and quality education.
