On-Site Training
Custom Board Retreats
The Georgia School Boards Association offers several on-site training opportunities for local school boards. The sessions include one and two day retreats on conflict management, team building, goal setting, superintendent's evaluation and board assessments. Costs for these sessions varies depending upon the length of the session and number or trainers involved.
For additional information and/or to schedule an on-site session contact Tony Arasi or Karen Palmer by email or by phone at 770.962.2985.
Basic Boardmanship Training
In addition to the one and two day retreats, the association also offers a two and a half hour session on basic boardmanship. This new on-site session provides boards and superintendents the opportunity to discuss in an informal setting the important roles of the superintendent and the board. The training session takes place in your school district, generally in conjunction with dinner. The meeting and dinner usually last two-and-a-half hours.
Two carefully selected veteran school board members conduct the session and the meeting is planned with your board's needs in mind. There is plenty of time for group discussion. Note: Since this is only a two-and-a-half hour session, it will not count toward annual veteran board member training.
Each on-site session covers such important areas as:
- The authority of the school board
- Board/superintendent relations
- Policy and administration: Who does what?
- Executive session-privileged communication
- The board as a team
- Following the chain of command
- The board's role with staff.
Cost for this service will be the cost of travel and dinner for the board/trainers.
Please contact Tony Arasi or Karen Palmer at the GSBA office to schedule your free on-site session (770.962.2985).
