Description

Charter school boards only meet a handful of times each year—but those meetings are where nearly all governance happens. That’s why making them effective, efficient, and strategic is essential. This module focuses on how your board can get the most out of its time together and comply with important public meeting laws. Participants will learn how to structure agendas around the board’s true responsibilities, prepare strategically for each meeting, and understand the key requirements of the Open Meetings Act (OMA). We’ll also explore how to best utilize board committees to do the in-depth work of governance and help meetings run more smoothly.

Key topics include: 

• Why board meetings are so critical to charter school success 

• Best practices for preparing and structuring agendas 

• Tips for board chairs and members to lead efficient meetings 

• Legal must-knows: Complying with OMA 

• The role of committees in strengthening board effectiveness
