A student-outcomes focus for school boards

Aj Crabill’s guide addresses a central governance challenge: how school boards can keep student learning at the heart of their work amid operational and staffing pressures. It frames board effectiveness around outcomes such as literacy, numeracy, and college and career readiness, while also recognizing schools’ financial and operational responsibilities. Step-by-step exercises invite board members to assess their impact, reconsider priorities, and build the knowledge and skills needed to support student success. The book is organized as a practical resource for board members seeking to connect governance decisions with what students know and are able to do.
