School Board Boot Camp

Most new school board members discover that campaigning and governing require completely different skills. You made promises during your campaign, but now you’re facing Robert’s Rules, budget complexities, FOIA requirements, and the reality that you “can’t know everything” as a part-time board member with full-time responsibilities.

School Board Boot Camp bridges this critical gap with six focused units covering everything from meeting mechanics and educational finance to policy development and standardized test analysis. This practical, non-partisan training gives you the tools to move beyond political theater and focus on what matters: improving student outcomes. Created by someone who’s been in your seat and learned what actually works versus what sounds good in theory.

Stop making excuses and start making a difference. You didn’t run for school board to waste time in unproductive meetings—you ran to serve students. This course shows you exactly how to do that, starting with your very first board meeting.
