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.
This captivating book presents innovative answers to the question:
why storytelling? Each chapter represents leading edge narrative
research designs from Arthur V. Mauro Institute for Peace and
Justice in central Canada, one of the world's leading academic
programs for Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS), and a major
contributor to PACS scholarship. The authors are candid and offer
inspiration for other scholars seeking groundbreaking ideas for
their own research design while offering profound expansions to the
current PACS literature. The scholarship reflects a diversity of
ideas, passions, approaches, disciplinary roots, and topic areas.
Each chapter explores different and critical issues in the field of
PACS through various forms of storytelling, while providing recent
original research designs for the future development of the field
and the education of its practitioners and academics. This volume,
co-edited by three of the early graduates of the program, presents
and explores a number of these issues across the broad spectrum of
Peace and Conflict Studies. Contributors to the book are recognized

storytelling. Based in the doctoral theses and in celebration of
the first decade of Canada's only doctoral program in PACS, this
volume, co-edited by three of the graduates of the program and
written by colleagues, presents and explores a number of these
issues while presenting new and leading research across the broad
spectrum of Peace and Conflict Studies.
School boards shape society through systems of education. They
choose who leads the system and how educators are selected to lead
classrooms. They approve the allocation of millions of dollars
every year. As leaders, the school board determines how their
community defines the values, resources, and belief systems that
together form the democratic mosaic of our times. Embedded within
this knowledge are timeless foundations that have carried us from
the origins of school boards to our current systems; these are the
keys to community engagement, and these are the keys to empowered
and strong school systems. This book is about the remarkable and
unique purpose of school boards. It is not a book about abolition,
or drastic reform. It explains clearly that school boards were
established as part of the foundation for a strong democratic
society and encourages everyone involved with school systems to
guard that foundation. School boards embody the most immediate
principles of democracy. This is an exciting book, appropriate for
our times, focused on the powerful leadership necessary in the
school board, and the potential to deliver ever-improving results
through consistent and deliberate governance.
