9240 Board Member Development

The Board of Education desires that its individual members learn, understand and practice effective governance principles. The Board is responsible for member orientation and development. Board members have an equal opportunity to attend state and national meetings designed to familiarize members with public school issues, governance and legislation. 

In order to develop leadership capabilities, become informed about current issues in education, and improve their skills as members of a policy-making body, Board members will participate in opportunities for development that may include, but not be limited to, the following: 

• In-service activities planned by the Board and by the administration for staff members, as appropriate; 

• Participation in conferences, workshops and conventions held by State and National School Boards Associations and other educational organizations; 

• Subscriptions to publications addressing Board member concerns.
