I've learned (more than) a few things about what school boards should and should not be doing during my Fellowship with Leadership ISD. Here are a few of them: School board races are non-partisan. Full stop. Being conservative or not does not matter for the role of a trustee. School boards are to set goals for the superintendent. The superintendent is to then run the district, make staffing decisions, and allocate funding to programs in order to meet the goals as set by the board. The board is not to get involved in the day-to-day running of a district, such as handling performance reviews of administration or teachers. The board should be handling the performance evaluation of the superintendent in meeting the goals the board has established. One of the key roles of a school board is to approve an annual budget consistent with the district's vision. This requires an in-depth evaluation of the current costs, projected costs, and projected funds incoming through taxes. Bond funds are different but certainly no less important. Boards are not to select or approve curriculum, create programming, or manage the school experience for students or their families. If you want to learn more about what school boards should be doing and how you can evaluate the candidates, see my presentation on YouTube, available at: https://lnkd.in/gnwdv9Je

Nothing beats a high-quality PD day. Attended Federal Programs Training today at the Charter Institute at Erskine. Theme of the day was: "changing the game" in South Carolina! FP Coordinators traveled from all over the state to come to the Institute for today's Federal Programs Bootcamp. Coordinators worked through hands-on training scenarios and made important connections that will allow them to prioritize federal spending to ensure maximum impact on student achievement. #MoveTheNeedle #pd #finance #federalprograms #schoolleadership

How do you define a right-fit family? It’s a question that many school leaders and advancement team members answer from intuition rather than documentation. Today at the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools Advancement & Admissions Conference, Andy Lynch challenged teams to consider how clarifying their “who” advances their pursuit of Healthy Enrollment?. If this sounds like a topic your team could also benefit from, check out our free resource on The Uncomfortable Commitment to Healthy Enrollment and learn more: https://lnkd.in/g7-C_bNq #schoolmarketing #schooladmissions #enrollmentmarketing #privateschool #independentschool

Equitable resource allocation across schools begins with school scheduling. When scheduling is approached strategically, with the right tools and support, there’s a major opportunity to address key priorities with district staffing, budget, and academic goals.
