Welcome to the New Board Member Academy, a dynamic learning experience designed to empower both new and veteran school board members with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary for effective school governance.
The academy is designed to give you valuable, practical information and guidance that you can put to use immediately. Through expert-led discussion and feedback, newly elected, appointed, and veteran school board members will develop a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities so they can stay focused on making a difference for children.
Academy participants will first attend one of five in-person foundational workshops scheduled for January-February 2025 covering the essential basics of school board service, including boardsmanship, public meeting procedure, communications, and maintaining a productive relationship with the superintendent.
Following the face-to-face workshop, new board members will attend a monthly sequence of live virtual clinics from March through June, each covering a different topic including policy, public access, and school funding.
All in-person and virtual sessions are recorded and made available on demand — ensuring you can learn on a schedule that fits your needs.
