SCHOOL BOARD U 101: First Year Journey
The journey begins with a series of two sessions created exclusively for newly elected and newly appointed school board members. Join VSBA staff and state experts as we grapple with defining the work of school boards and their members, including governance issues, policy, the role of the board, expectations, financial basics, and board operations.
The First Year Journey sessions will be conducted virtually in 2022. There is no cost to attend, and we encourage all new members to register and attend both sessions.
