The Essential School Board Book: Better Governance in the Age of Accountability

Amid heightened attention on student achievement, school boards find their responsibilities intensified and transformed. In this age of accountability, all school boards need to consider how best to maintain a focus on student achievement and promote it through district and school policies.
The Essential School Board Book answers this challenge in unmistakably practical and helpful terms. It highlights effective practices that are common to high-functioning boards around the countryâ€”boards that are working successfully with their superintendents and communities to improve teaching and learning. It features stories of sixteen diverse boardsâ€”elected and appointed; rural, urban, and suburbanâ€”and the policies and procedures they have employed to enhance student achievement. Also included is a resource section for investigating successful school board policies and practices in more depth.
