Tuesday Workshops

TOPIC:  Sustainable Safety Plans 

Presenters – TBD

Workshop Description:

The board is the authority when it comes to school safety but how do you and your team create a lasting safety plan? It takes strategic decision making by the board, superintendent, and staff to make a plan that survives and thrives through personnel changes. What should be included? Who should help in its creation? How does the district or charter school move to sustainability in this vital role? Explore these issues and learn to implement best practices for your district or charter in this workshop.

TOPIC:  Fiduciary Responsibility and Governing Boards

Presenters – TBD

Workshop Description:

State and federal code contain many areas relevant to the board and its oversight of the funding of the district or charter school. When using taxpayer funding to create educational programs, it is important that the board have all the information it needs to find a balance between the funding concerns and providing the best opportunities possible for the students it serves. In this workshop, we will review needed resources, questions you should ask, and procedures available to districts and charters in becoming responsible fiduciary agents.
