Download or read book Improving School Board Effectiveness written by Thomas L. Alsbury and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving School Board Effectiveness offers a clarifying and essential look at the evolving role of school boards and how they contribute to efforts to improve student learning. It examines how board members can establish effective district priorities, and it explores those board policies and actions that result in shared, districtwide commitments to heightened student achievement. This book arises out of a critical need for a better understanding of school boards and the development of helpful tools and guidelines for school board members. At its heart is the notion of Balanced Governance, a principle that most generally “balances the authority of a superintendent to lead a school district with the necessary oversight of a locally engaged and knowledgeable board.” Improving School Board Effectiveness is a helpful and practical book that will prove indispensable for school board members, school and district administrators, and everyone with a stake in school improvement and reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School boards have the potential to build an extraordinary future for our children. The leadership of the school board can launch the potential in every child and educator in their schools, or it can cripple and discourage learning communities. Elected trustees play a critical role in today's school systems. As policy-makers, governors and community representatives, they influence the direction and achievement of schools within their jurisdiction. Administrators new to the school board table must quicklyacquire comprehensive knowledge of the mandate and purpose of the school board, and how to work with trustees to lead the school district to attain its educational goals. Exploring facets of school board governance such as the role of democracy, public finance, accountability, purposeful meetings, and how to work with the personalities at the table, this book offers foundational training for board members and general knowledge for persons interested in knowing what school trustees actually do. Thoroughly understanding the purpose of the school board, and what it means to 'guard the trust' on behalf of the citizenry is critical to improved schools and quality education.

Book excerpt: This comparative-descriptive study examined school board members' perceptions of their behaviors and beliefs related to student achievement in California's high-performing poverty districts compared to school board members' perceptions of their behaviors and beliefs related to student achievement in California's low-performing poverty districts. A review of the literature revealed scant empirical research regarding school board governance and student achievement. Among the few studies producing quantitative data, The Lighthouse Inquiry found seven Key Areas of Board Performance, which served as the conceptual framework for this research. This study employed a mixed-methods research design. School board members meeting the study criteria supplied quantitative data through their responses to 56 Likert-type questions administered in an on-line survey. The researcher used descriptive statistics to analyze the quantitative data. In the second phase of the study, qualitative data were collected from two informal, semistructured interviews with one board member from a high-performing school district meeting the criteria for this study and one board member from a low-performing school district meeting the criteria for this study. The survey and interview data indicate more similarities than differences between the behaviors and beliefs of school board members in high- and low-performing school districts. The results from survey responses aggregated for each Key Area of Board Performance show the greatest difference in the Key Areas of Connecting with the Community and Deliberative Policy Development. The study concludes that state and federal accountability, governance training, and inadequate school funding play a role in school board governance as it relates to student achievement. Recommendations for further study include empirical research of effective governance training, school board decisions related to funding allocation, school board focus on student learning, and methods used by school boards to connect with community agencies for the purpose of leveraging resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every school board adopts a unique governing style which affects the way the district is managed. This book identifies some of those styles and examines their potential impact on district administration, and ultimately on student achievement. The book also clarifies the role of school boards in unequivocal terms, discusses board-superintendent relations, and offers several recommendations and critical takeaways for education stakeholders. The author's doctoral research which gave rise to this book shows that a school board's governing style has the potential to affect educational outcomes in consequential ways, particularly in urban districts where the greatest impact was observed. A content outline for a set of professional development modules on school board governance is provided in the book, including an in depth review of the roles and responsibilities of school boards, and some case studies on board-superintendent interaction.

This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, Jacqueline Danzberger described school boards as the forgotten players. However, things have changed drastically for school boards over the past few years. No longer are school boards the forgotten players in school governance. Instead, school boards often find themselves in the center of controversies stemming from the intrusion of political partisanship into local governance structures which historically, and for the purposes of sustained democratic educational governance, were intentionally intended to be non-partisan elected boards. However, this is where many school boards find themselves today. The chapters in this volume address several key questions school board members are currently facing as they struggle to protect some of our country’s earliest guardrails of democracy; local control of schools. To be sure, school boards are no longer the forgotten players. Implications of this may be wide reaching and therefore deserve room in the current literature on educational governance. Volume II of the Research on the Superintendency series highlights recent research on school boards, local control, governance, and the superintendency. Each chapter is briefly described and the chapters are in a particular order that readers may wish to pay attention to as they enjoy the book. The first three chapters deal with local control in both rural and urban settings. The next two chapters are studies focused mainly on school boards and how their roles have shifted over the years followed by a chapter on the relationship between school boards and their superintendents within a regulatory environment and the level of stress it can bring to board members and superintendents. The final five chapters describe recent superintendent research that is closely linked to school governance or school board policies. We ask readers to juxtapose lessons learned in those five chapters to the role of school boards within the context of those chapters.
