Survival requires a board that is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and works as a team with their charter administrator to maximize the chances of success. Charters have specific needs from their boards: ensuring stable or increasing enrollment, facilities management, student success, and financial stability. These needs are intertwined and need to be understood to govern a successful charter school. Attendees learn how to clearly define the board\u2019s role, strengthen partnerships with their administrators, and apply governance practices that directly support enrollment growth, financial stability, and student outcomes. The practical tools and strategies learned are a tool to guide charter school boards toward long-term success.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">TOPIC: <\/span><\/strong><strong>Navigating the Challenges of the Superintendency: Tools, Tips, and Strategies to Retain Hope and Resilience in the Work of Leading the Schools of Today<\/strong><strong>\u00a0\u2013 Session B<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><div class=\"bullets\"><ul><li style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/convention\/wp-content\/themes\/expo18\/img\/icons\/0270.png)\"><strong>Location:<\/strong> Casco Bay<\/li><li style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.idsba.org\/convention\/wp-content\/themes\/expo18\/img\/icons\/0006.png)\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Presenter:<\/strong> <\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tim Garchow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this workshop, participants engage in discussions of timely issues, share the challenges that they face, and discover a variety of tools to assist in not only navigating issues, but also strengthening the working relationships of the board and superintendent team.
