The line between meaningful oversight and overstepping into operations isn’t always clear—and it’s in that gray area where even well-intentioned board members can get off track. School board members step into their roles wanting to help, but good intentions don’t always translate into good governance.In this episode, we explore that gray area through real-world scenarios, highlighting common pitfalls that can lead members astray and practical strategies to stay grounded in their role, work effectively with their superintendent and build positive relationships.HostJamie McPherson, Deputy Director of Leadership Development, NYSSBAGuestsDarci D’Ercole, Chief Governance and Leadership Development Officer, NYSSBAMark Snyder, Senior Leadership Development Manager, NYSSBAResourcesSchedule your Custom Board Retreat today!
