Coming to Order, a Guide to Successful School Board Meetings

Coming to Order-A Guide to Successful School Board Meetings is designed for boards that hope to use their meetings to reach a higher level of performance as well as those that simply need a cure for bad meetings. The new book represents a staff-written update of an older IASB publication, Successful School Board Meetings, which has been out-of-print for several years. Like the older book, the new version explains how to plan and conduct meetings that meet the needs of the individual school board. The new version, however, takes the board meeting beyond compliance with legal requirements to meetings that serve the interests of both school and community. The book targets both new and experienced board members and should be especially useful to board presidents, secretaries and superintendents.
