This Guide Helps
School Boards
Achieve Better Board
Governance
How do school board members and superintendents build trust,
improve transparency, and facilitate better communication? This
helpful guide shares the recipe for success!
Created by the Georgia School
Boards Association (GSBA) and
eBOARDsolutions, this guide was
developed over years of experience in
helping boards achieve better board
governance.
If you are part of a school board in any of the districts across
the US, then this guide is for you!
eBOARDsolutions’ guide relates well to
increasing conversations about the state of the
US education system. It will serve as a useful
resource for school board members and
superintendents looking for practical strategies
for improved governance.
The guide provides answers to questions surrounding how an
environment with better synergy and mutual trust can be built
between school boards and superintendents.
Presented as questions,
eBOARDsolutions’ guide provides six
arguments based on professional
experiences from Dr. Gene Bottoms - a
seasoned educator and Senior Vice
President of the Southern Regional
Education Board.
Dr. Bottoms is one of two presenters on a webinar that talks about the
same subject: “The Super Six: Top 6 Questions School Board Members
Should be Asking their Superintendents.”
According to the guide, your school
board can see improved results by
including strategic planning into its
activities, which will lead to a culture of
consistent improvement.
Monitoring student achievement will also help your school
administrators assess the success of implemented
strategic plans.
The guide recommends that school boards
establish structures for accountability and
equity, where responsibilities are shared
between all stakeholders and students are
given equitable access to the learning
resources they need.
Based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, eBOARDsolutions was founded by the
Georgia School Boards Association to develop and deliver board
management software to school boards across the US.
