Key Work of School Boards
The Key Work of School Boards is a framework of eight essential key action areas that focus and guide school boards in their efforts to improve student achievement. The eight areas include:
The framework is rooted in systematic theory that holds that no action is accomplished in isolation. This means that as one Key Work area is intentionally or unintentionally addressed, other Key Work areas necessarily are affected. Working effectively together, the Key Work components can optimize a local school board's ability to make positive and lasting school district improvements.
