About this book

Learn how to turn your school board members into heroes by helping them make smart, worthwhile decisions they will deserve to brag about. In this much-needed book, Ryan Donlan and Todd Whitaker offer practical strategies to help superintendents develop better working relationships with their boards.

You'll discover how to:

  • reconnect board members to the real purpose of education, despite their personal agendas
  • work with your board more effectively during meetings and at times in between
  • guide board members into more productive roles when they overreach beyond policymaking
  • connect and communicate with board members regardless of personal disposition

Each chapter contains hero-making tips to help you get started. In addition, this timely second edition features a new chapter on navigating the superintendentā€“board president relationship. With this practical book, you'll be able to overcome the challenges of the superintendentā€“board relationship so that your board can make better decisions for those who matter mostā€”the students.
