Effective charter school governance is the foundation of strong schools and sustainable success. This session will focus on concrete actions that high-performing governing boards take to lead strategically, ensure accountability, and drive mission-aligned results. Join WRCCS Associate Director Dan Lathrop to examine key practices of productive boards, including:
- Building a strong partnership with school leadership while maintaining appropriate oversight
- Focusing on strategic priorities rather than operational details
- Using data effectively for decision-making and continuous improvement
- Cultivating board culture, recruitment, and succession planning
Through practical examples, case studies from successful charter schools, and guided discussion, attendees will leave with actionable tools and strategies they can apply immediately to strengthen their own board’s performance. This session will equip you with strategies to take your governance to the next level.
