Governance 101: Cultural and Legal Framework of Effective Boards (Room Hyatt Regency A)

School boards are required to adhere to numerous legal requirements and rules of order to effectively conduct their business. However, the effectiveness of a board is equally dependent upon interactions between board members and administrators. An effective leadership team can create a culture that promotes high levels of performance and achievement. In this session, a WASB attorney will discuss the legal requirements and procedures board members need to be aware of and how they help ensure a well-run meeting. He will be joined by a WASB consultant who has years of experience as a school district administrator to discuss how the board and superintendent can work together to ensure effective meetings.
