An effective school board that is focused on student achievement evaluates all functions of a board, from governance and policy to communication with staff and the public. According to the Center for Public Research, there is a consistent body of research examining the characteristics and practices of effective school boards. It is clear that school boards in high-achieving districts exhibit approaches and characteristics that are markedly different from boards in low-achieving districts. This program will assist you as you in establishing a culture for your board that is focused on improving student success in your school district.
