School board members and superintendents face the reality of
providing all students access to a quality education and carefully
requesting and allocating public funds to finance excellent
educational opportunities. One of the key resources available to
boards and superintendents are external experts (consultants). This
book uses a case study of one district's experiences with external
experts over a 14-year span. The district's experiences with the
six external experts are described in detail covering' a wide range
of topics, including governance and decision making, cultural
diversity, finance, and school safety. Special emphasis is placed
on lessons learned from each external expert and about the ways
school leaders can facilitate the effectiveness of external
experts. Relevant aspects of effective district leadership are
discussed in depth, including the importance of understanding
values and context, assessing need, using available internal
resources, and superintendent professional development. Suggestions
for board members, current superintendents, and aspiring
superintendents are included, which focus on ways district leaders
can improve their own performance and improve collaborative work
between board members and administrators
