  • Do you have a split board that is preventing you from moving forward in your district?

  • Is your board bogged down by daily operational decisions rather than policymaking decisions?

  • Is your board accused of being out-of-touch with your community, staff and students?

  • Is there conflict on your board that prevents teamwork and effective decision-making?

  • Is the turnover on your board standing in the way of progress towards your goals?

  • Does your board lack direction and goals?


MASB's customized training services provide the insight that MASB's professional staff, expertise, experience and resources bring to the board table, combined with the convenience of offering these services "onsite" at a location close to you.

Boards must make pivotal decisions which have important and far-reaching consequences for students, parents, employees and entire communities. Research proves that a strong working relationship between the board and superintendent improves student achievement.

To present a positive and productive atmosphere for decision-making, you need strong leadership among board members demonstrated by teamwork, effective communication, problem-solving skills and positive relationships between the board and the superintendent.

MASB provides customized workshops, onsite at a location convenient to you that focuses on your board's specific challenges and situations. Through a complete analysis of your needs, skilled and highly trained facilitators identify problem areas and design solutions unique to your board.

Your return on investment is clear: improved student achievement, high level of board governance, community and voter support, and the confidence you need to make decisions impacting 1.6 million school children and overseeing Michigan's $13 billion public education enterprise.

   Testimonials  
 

I’m so very impressed with the quality programs that are available to school boards. Having an instructor come out to our district to assist us in our understanding of better boardsmanship benefited everyone on our board. This was a good choice on our part and a good resource that is available to us. Thank you MASB.
Carol Middel, School Board Member, Wayne-Westland Community School District


MASB recently facilitated a Board Governance and Board/Superintendent Goal-Setting Workshop. Our facilitator, Scott Morrell, was excellent and his experience as a previous board member was invaluable. Scott conducted the workshop with enthusiasm, professionalism and a unique candor when addressing sensitive issues related to board governance and board/superintendent relations.
