5 Classic Comment

6 Board & Superintendent Roles & Responsibilities

7 School Board Roles In order to give the best service to your local community, you will need to develop skills and knowledge in a variety of areas.

8 School Board Duties Policy-making A board s major function, and the foundation upon which the division s structure is built, is the setting of policy. Boards don t carry out a policy. The responsibility for implementing policy is delegated to the superintendent. Designating the Chief Executive Officer The board is responsible for recruiting, hiring and evaluating the performance of the superintendent Financial Resources The board approves and adopts the budget

9 Superintendent s Role He/she is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the division

10 Effective school board understand the distinctions between board and staff roles, and refrain from performing management functions that are the responsibility of the superintendent and staff. Why? So they can hold the system accountable for results.

11 Classic Comment Board members have to make the transition from doing things themselves to getting things done through structures involving other people. Remember: You are part of a leadership TEAM.

12 Working Together School Board Superintendent The Work of the School Division

13 Leadership Team Focuses on end results? Who does what? Establishes means to achieve results? Asks questions: What? How much? Why? How? By Whom? Establishes policies? Develops regulations? Recommends? Approves?

20 More Research

21 More Research 1. What ethical violation did Andy commit? 2. How do his actions affect his fellow board members? 3. Who should remind Andy that he should be prepared for the board meeting and submit questions in advance? 4. What might be a motive of a board member to challenge the superintendent in an open meeting? How might other board members minimize the negative impact? 5. What part(s) of the VSBA Code of Conduct did Andy violate?

22 Classic Comment

27 Mentor Availability

28 Responsive Reading

29 When you learn information in closed session. I promise that I will not compromise the confidentiality of closed sessions. I will not divulge information discussed during closed sessions, nor shall I distribute confidential materials received in those meetings. As a board member, I will strive to ensure that issues discussed in closed session meet the criteria defined by the law. I recognize that this is my ethical responsibility.

30 When a staff member or citizen bypasses the chain of communication and brings a school problem directly to you. This situation could end up requiring board action, and if I am involved in it at this level, I will be unable to act on it as a member of the board because it could be a violation of due process. All concerns or issues brought to my attention must go through the proper channels.

31 When you ve lost a hard-fought battle and disagree with the board s decision. I am bound to the decision of the board. I promise I will respect the outcome of the vote and the will of the board, and will not undermine the credibility of the board by criticizing the decision of the majority. I recognize that this is my ethical responsibility.

32 Classic Comment It took me several years to learn that effective boardsmanship means being able to hold the minority viewpoint when voting; then openly supporting the majority vote in my community. It is the will of the board, not the will of an individual.

33 Difficult Things to Learn

34 Ways to Grow & Learn

35 Final Advice for the Road The campaign is over finally! Have courage Don t be afraid to ask questions Don t focus on single issues you are there for all students Keep a sense of humor and an open mind Be patient including with yourself You are a board member 24/7 Advocate for your school division Rely on your fellow board members they ve all been new Respect other s skills, attitudes, and experience You are part of a team you can t get things done alone The will of the board
