Best Practices in Charter School Governance

This package introduces basic roles, responsibilities and general practices essential to creating and/or operating an effective charter school board. This training can be applied to boards of new schools, individual board members, or existing boards needing assistance with structure and operations.

This training is customized for each school via a pre-session survey and conference call in order to best meet the needs of the charter school board. This training package can include the review of items such as: committees (work, structure and board oversight), board recruitment, public relations and marketing, measuring constituent satisfaction, evaluating the board and administration, developing essential operating documents, legal roles and responsibilities of board members, running effective meetings, school bylaws (and other foundation documents) and compliance, essential policies as they relate to items such as board meeting/operations protocol, conflict of interest, employment, school operations, accountability, SPED, ESL, and basic contract provisions (especially at the time of charter renewal) and waivers.
