If you're an experienced board member, try the same thing. If you and your board colleagues sense a confidence problem, look first at the school district's vision. Lack of a vision unravels boards and can make board life miserable. Worse yet, it can result in a drifting school district. Boards that generate confidence project an image of professionalism, fairness, and efficiency.
Board members understand their role and their responsibilities.
And their agenda is always in the best interest of the entire community. Checkpoints can provide insights into the way your school board functions. And, they can serve as keys to unlocking public confidence in you and the schools that you represent. In today's competitive environment, school districts have to focus on creating and keeping customers. This means providing quality programs and services in such a way that people want to do business with our schools.
