This guide is intended to give board members and administrators a working knowledge of the policy process in local school district governance. Provided are background information, step-by-step instructions for developing policies, an action plan for district governance manual development, and a process for keeping a manual up to date. Bylaws are an internal mechanism for board organization and procedure. Four sample bylaws demonstrate content, format, language, indexing, and referencing. All local boards deal with the same policy topics: (1) community relations; (2) educational administration; (3) business and noninstructional operations; (4) instructional and support personnel; (5) students; (6) instruction, and (8) construction, remodeling, and renovation. Nine sample policies are provided. A sample action plan is provided for a district that lacks many policies and is embarking on a manual development project. The appendix contains the New Jersey School Boards Association codification system, divided into eight sections, each with its own index, identifying number, and descriptive title. (MLF)

Download or read book Boards that Matter written by Linda J. Dawson and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2011-07-16 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book clears the smoke for boards faced with the challenge to make their governing model, either Policy Governance® or Coherent Governance® , work in real life. Boards of directors thoughtfully engage in the exciting work of developing new policies and adopting their new governing model, then immediately confront reality: how does the board actually put the new model into motion and allow it to deliver on its promise of excellent board performance? Boards That Matter is a practical guide that takes the mystery out of that process. It is a book that is loaded with down-to-earth solutions, all based on processes successfully in use today by boards across the United States and internationally. Although many of the examples offered in the book comefrom the world of public school boards and non-profit boards of various types, the implementation processes are equally applicable to boards of all types. The challenge of governing a complex organization is difficult enough in itself, without layeringon top of that challenge the struggle to make the board's own operating system seem natural and meaningful. The authors draw from their combined 60-plus years of experience in working with public and non-profit boards, including work with hundreds of boards using both Policy Governance® and Coherent Governance®, as they present their insight about how to use the models effectively. Their easily-understood implementation strategies for helping real boards deal with real issues, and doing it through faithful utilization of their new governing tools, makes this a continuing reference source for boards as they translate theory into practice.
Download or read book Creating and Sustaining High Quality Charter School Governing Boards A Guide for State Policymakers written by Elizabeth A. Butler and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide for state policymakers examines the laws, policies, and programs that states are using to create and sustain high-quality charter school governing boards. In particular, the guide focuses on the two aspects of governing boards that interviews with state administrators revealed are most critical for a board's success: board composition and recruitment and board training. States address board composition and recruitment in three ways. First, charter school laws in 14 states require (or prohibit) each charter school's governing board to include specific types of people, most commonly, teachers or parents. Second, three jurisdictions have created pools of potential board members to help match schools with qualified board members who have the time, skills, and aptitude to serve. Third, in four states, authorizers appoint or approve board members rather than placing this authority with individual charter schools. Although board training is mandated by law in only one state, interviewees in eleven states reported that training requirements are imposed by the state department of education or charter school authorizers. In addition, numerous states provide voluntary board training opportunities. The guide outlines the pros and cons of the prevalent policy options related to board composition and recruitment and board training with illustrative examples from existing state law and practice. It also raises issues state policymakers may want to consider in adopting new policies and aims to help them identify approaches that best meet the needs of charter schools in their state. (Contains 1 table, 8 footnotes and 17 resources.) [This paper was written with the assistance from Joanna Smith and Priscilla Wohlstetter.].
