A school board without intentional reset is like a ship that never returns to port. It may continue moving, but over time, its navigation drifts, its crew loses alignment, and small course corrections go unmade until they become major problems.
Summer is that port. It is a rare opportunity while schools are paused to reflect on the past year and glean lessons learned in planning for the upcoming academic year.
The research is clear: governance culture does not sustain itself. It requires deliberate reinforcement.
