Description
As the role and expectations of the superintendency change, the pressures also tend to change and become more complex, thus the need for a collaborative relationship between the superintendent and the school board intensifies. Handbook on How to Build Superintendent-Board Relationships provides valuable real-world strategies and scenarios on how to navigate the dynamics of superintendent-board working relationships; highlights successful practices for addressing superintendent-board conflict and dysfunction; and serves as a template for successful superintendent-board governance and operation in order to achieve the ultimate goal of high performing schools.
