It is important to ensure that boards develop the appropriate processes to help schools keep
Whether you’re a team of Division 1 athletes or of dedicated school board members and leaders, the same rings true: to perform at your best, to always reach for the highest bar, you’ve got to be well-structured, well-staffed, and well-trained.
Great governance takes structure. It takes knowing which committees to form, what they do, and how to know they’re doing it well.
If you're a charter school, the skills, mindsets, and experience levels you need in your founding trustees are not the same as what you need in your trustees one, two, or ten years down the road. As your organization evolves, your board must keep pace.
Most boards will answer yes to both this question and the one above. But how do you know that you’ve got the right people in place? And how do you know who to begin to look for now to fill the needs you’ll have soon?
Surprise… no one is born understanding board governance. Not even the incredibly smart, accomplished, and dedicated people who’ve volunteered to help your charter school, charter management organization, or school district deliver on its promises.
Have you organized extensive professional development programs for your staff, yet left your board out of the mix?
You have to be trained to be a top board member. You have to be trained to be a BoardSavvy™ CEO or Superintendent. It’s not innate. And it’s always changing.
What if you knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that:
You had the right people in the right roles for your board — with the right skill sets for today, and tomorrow
That your board was structured for success with the right roles and committees in place
Your board, CEO or Superintendent, and leadership staff were collaborating effectively
Your board was on track to achieve the right things this year, and maintain its focus throughout the year
Your board and leadership had access to self-guided training experiences and resources to continue to build up their governance knowledge, year after year
