Every board member has a responsibility to make the school board effective, but the chairman carries the heaviest responsibility since she/he was selected by peers to be their leader. Certain skills and actions simply are required if the chairman is to get the job done properly. This workshop was developed to help the board chairman (current or prospective) meet the requirements of the position and provide tools to assist you to build a better school board.
Effective meeting management is a major focus of this session. You are also introduced to parliamentary procedure, legal requirements of board meetings, and staff relations. Participants are engaged in activities that develop critical skills to deal more effectively with the media and the public.
