Event Description:

MASB's Premier Leadership Event!

School districts across the state of Michigan each day are faced with fewer funds for important education programs. In the face of this funding crisis, school board members often find it difficult to spend money on their own professional development and training.

However, it’s important to understand that public money will go farther if school board members are well-informed. Decisions made about policy, personnel, finance, and curriculum can be expensive and time consuming. Mistakes cost time and money—resources few school districts can afford to waste. In order to set policy for a complex school system, board members must have access to the best and most current information. As a board member, it’s imperative that you continue to seek professional development and training that helps you be the best board member you can be. Furthermore, communicating your boards’ participation in training to your community will help build confidence in the decisions of your board.
