There are many things districts need to think about when school board meetings begin a regular schedule. While it is important to allow parents and members of the community the opportunity to appear in person to speak on behalf of their children, they need to do so in a way that doesn’t compromise security or disrupt the flow of meetings. In addition schools and districts should have plans to move people out of the building promptly if they’re acting disruptively or threatening others with their actions.
To ensure effectively and safely board meetings, it’s important to establish a clear agenda and stick to it. This will help ensure that you cover all of the necessary topics while keeping meeting time at a minimum and making it easier for your attendees to stay engaged.
A clear agenda also helps to avoid drowning your guests in lengthy reports and routine tasks. By clearly defining what the purpose of each item is (inform, seek information, or come to a decision) Your attendees will be able to focus on discussion and questions, and not be distracted by menial details.
Finally, select a reliable software that can be used in both an on-site and virtual setting. This will let you organize hybrid meetings for those who don’t have private boardrooms. It will make it easier to share documents, take minutes and keep track of attendance.
