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. #### ** Do you have the right structures in place to succeed? ** ** Great governance takes structure. It takes knowing which committees to form, what they do, and how to know they’re doing it well. #### ** Do you have the right people in place? ** ** 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? #### ** Are your trustees or board members being provided the training they need? ** ** 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. ## Board on Track powers the most powerful governance teams **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 **With Board on Track, all of this and more is possible. We’ve built the platform to make every aspect of a great governance team clear, doable, and measurable.** **Board on Track members have access to the platform, partner, and community they need to power their governance team.** The online board management platform makes clear exactly what it takes to be a great governance team — the areas of focus, the actions to take, and the way to measure what’s working. The extensive — and always growing — library of resource articles provides strategic guidance through even the most daunting of tasks. From CEO or Superintendent evaluation processes to sample charter trustee job descriptions, it’s all there waiting for you. And our growing community of like-minded leaders is here to learn with you, online and in person.
