Webinars: Board Governance

Learn about strategies to help the board and the new superintendent form a new team, develop a shared vision, develop norms for communication, and identify goals for both the short and long term. This program will feature approaches for a successful transition that will set up your board/superintendent team for success!

Please join us as we discuss goal-setting in this unprecedented time. We will review the importance of developing collaborative annual district and board goals and a process for developing these goals between the board and superintendent to move your district forward in the upcoming year.

The value of conducting a board self-evaluation is especially critical this year. Your board has had to learn new ways to meet and communicate, to develop policy, provide oversight and govern effectively. The self-evaluation will assist in providing an analysis of your strengths to enable the board to meet the challenges that lie ahead. We will discuss NJSBA’s online tool for the Annual Board Self-Evaluation (BSE), including what the BSE covers, why boards should complete the BSE, the benefits of completing the BSE, ways to use the results of the compiled document, and how to complete it online.

Life has changed for all of us over the past few months. Roles and responsibilities can be murky during stable times and can become murkier during times of crisis. We will review board and superintendent roles and responsibilities and navigating through them in times of crisis.
