3-session webinar series
School boards are at a crossroads. They have been catapulted into the news in ways never seen before. These volunteer roles are often competing with their day jobs for time, learning, and being an agent for community response that can range from skepticism to utter anger.
While the board member represents the community in the school district, they also represent the district in the community. But, what is the board member’s responsibility in improving the community culture or elevating conversations around education? What kind of leadership does it take to remain committed to the vision?
Join governance specialist Diana Baker Freeman and members of the governance team from Sun Prairie Area School District, Sun Prairie, WI as we explore these questions over the next few weeks.
