School Board Development

The role of the school board and the superintendent is to provide leadership and governance to guarantee ALL STUDENTS the opportunity to succeed in our schools.  ESD 105 provides board training and development for exemplary governance that concentrates on the following:

• Establishing goals, vision, and clear outcomes for student achievement

• Creating structures and conditions for the superintendent to be able to function as a real C.E.O. for the school system

• Clarification of the roles and responsibilities of the school board

• Evaluation of and planning for strategic plans

• Strategies to keep the community informed of student progress and needs

• Skills for fiscal governance

• Evaluation of the superintendent

"Create a district and community culture that reinforces the commitment and belief that all district staff adn the community members are responsible to, and accountable for, the education of all students at every school in the district."
