Seven characteristics differentiate this model from governance as it is now widely practiced. Primacy of the owner-representative role. One voice from plural trustees.
Trustees have authority only as a full board.
The superintendent as a real chief executive officer. The superintendent is the only person the board instructs and the only person the board evaluates. Informed obsession with results, recipients, and cost of results should be the dominant work of the board. Board decisions crafted by descending size. System-focused superintendent evaluation.
