MSBA has a wealth of resources to help individual trustees and school boards learn more about their roles and responsibilities within the public school system. Have you had a chance to visit the trustee education section of our website?  It contains videos, webinars and associated resources for download that have been created to expand the knowledge base of board members and to develop skills that support informed decision-making.

This Division Dispatches video series has been produced to assist boards and senior administration teams develop a shared understanding of governance and how to enhance its effectiveness.

Board retreats are special meetings organized around issues too significant to adequately handle within a regular meeting agenda. Boards can also benefit from an annual retreat to strengthen relationships. Watch our latest video to learn more.
