BOARD SERVICES
ISBA offers numerous training, services, and continuous education opportunities, including:
Board Self-Assessment
Regular evaluation and reflection are critical to maintaining the board’s internal health. We'll help you select the right tools and processes.
Effective Governance
Whether you are a young board or a seasoned board, training in the best practices of effective governance is always in order.
Conflict Resolution
Are seemingly insurmountable conflicts between members of the board threatening to undermine the board’s ability to fulfill its responsibilities? Is the Board/Superintendent relationship in need of repair? Do you have a board member who refuses to work within the appropriate channels and processes? If any of these are true, conflict resolution facilitated by ISBA can help you chart a clear path to resolving the differences and restoring harmony.
Maximize Meetings
Effective board meetings are the result of intentional planning and execution. Learn how to focus the meeting agenda on what's important, avoid management minutiae, and spend more time addressing the big picture.
Board/Superintendent Relations Workshop
Being a successful school board member requires a thorough understanding of the appropriate relationship between the school board and the superintendent. ISBA's Board/Superintendent Relations workshop shows you how to establish and then maintain a proper and professional working relationship.
Goal Setting
Boards need goals. Goals provide boards with purpose. ISBA can walk you and your fellow board members through the strategic goal setting process.
Superintendent Evaluation
The annual superintendent’s evaluation must be more than a perfunctory exercise. This ISBA workshop will show you how to develop and implement an evaluation instrument that is meaningful, productive, and geared towards continuous improvement.
Developing Values/Beliefs, Mission and Vision Statements
The values, beliefs, mission, and vision established by the school board are foundational to the overall success of the school corporation. These series of guided sessions are available for $175 per session (a typical foundational statement process requires four sessions).
Superintendent Search Process
Attracting and selecting superintendent candidates can be overwhelming. ISBA can make that task easier with our systematic search and selection services. We will assist school boards without compromising the board’s authority in the interview and selection process. ISBA offers a flat-fee package of standard services, with a number of additional add-on services also available if needed.
