Charter School Board Governance 101

View: http://www.edexcellence.net/sponsorship/global/page.cfm?id=432

Focus Area:  Governance & Management

Abstract:  To help charter school board members govern their schools more effectively, the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, in partnership with the The National Association of Charter School Authorizers, The Ohio Alliance for Public Charter Schools, and other Ohio based organizations, hosted a seminar on the essentials of charter school governance in October 2007. To help charter school leaders who were not in attendance, the organization posted presentations about board roles, academic accountability, charter school law, and potential legal liabilities. While some of the presentations were Ohio-specific, charter school stakeholders from other states will find the governance materials to be helpful.
