Description:
The WASB provides comprehensive, customized training, support, resources and inspiration to school boards and superintendents to maximize their effectiveness in carrying out their respective leadership roles.The WASB's customized leadership services can address a wide range of governance issues and/or help districts confront specific challenges and circumstances. From developing a vision and working on board-superintendent relations to developing a master plan, the WASB is here to help.
Roberts Rules of Order as it applies to small boards (less than 12) states that impartiality is more challenging with small boards and therefore motions, discussions, and voting are permitted by the board chair (president). The board also does not need to second motions, does not need to have a motion before a discussion, and a motion to close or limit debate generally should not be entertained. |
