IF YOU HAVE NEW MEMBERS JOINING YOUR BOARD TABLE...
THE BEGINNING OF BOARD SERVICE IS HARD and overwhelming, so WPSBA has put together a comprehensive orientation for your newly elected board members. Invite them to join us for a night "out" via Zoom for New School Board Member Orientation on Thursday, June 17th, with a panel of veteran board members and reflections from a 1st year school board member. And that's not all... you can also tell them about our September 18th Mandated Governance Training full day workshop, which will be in person in Yorktown (COVID protocols in effect).
GOT OPINIONS?
HELP US UPDATE OUR ANNUAL FACTS & FIGURE$ publication. Share your thoughts about how we can provide a more relevant picture of your school district through data and narratives. In this month as we typically look both forward and back at the same time, take a few minutes to look through this year's book (you should have received a copy recently) and tell us how you think we can make it better.
DISTRICTS ASSEMBLE THEIR PLANS FOR FALL
SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST SCHOOL districts have taken virtual learning off the table for the fall. On the flip side, there are plenty of districts actually going in the opposite direction and announcing a full virtual option. There is definitely a big split with many on a mission to get all kids back into school buildings and others still concerned about sending children back before they are vaccinated.
