Boards Need Education, Too!
MacDougall, Carol
Updating School Board Policies, v19 n5 p1-2,3 May 1988
Local school boards bear the responsibility for goal-setting, policy-making, hiring, firing, construction, curriculum, and budget allocations. Competent boards need to become and remain informed about emerging, continuing, and future issues. School boards are turning to annual inservice programs to improve their decision-making skills. A sample program is described and ordering information listed for a publication intended for school boards interested in self-evaluation. (MLF)
