School board elections are right around the corner. Is your board prepared?

An effective onboarding process benefits new members by helping them acclimate quickly while avoiding common pitfalls that can strain relations. Through a proactive plan, boards can support their new members while building trust, collaboration and unity on the governance team. This enables them to better focus on advancing positive student outcomes without unnecessary distractions.
