Starting Your Private School Board


Hi Inner Circle Member:

Some you may know that I live in Vancouver, Canada. On days like today, I would rather not live anywhere else. This week we have had clear blue skies and temperatures hovering around freezing. I had a chance to go for walk today and was inspired by the beautiful scenery that surrounds Vancouver - 3 ski skills looking down on Vancouver with dozens of freighters anchored lazily out in English Bay. To top it off, I am heading over to Hawaii next week to work with clients who are starting a private high school. It is like going from paradise to heaven.

My hat goes off to all of you who have the enthusiasm and vision to start your own school and want to give back to your community. As Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” Today I am going to share a few ideas about starting your first board of governs for your school.

Enjoy the eNewsletter

3. Starting Your Own Private School Board

==================================

The role of the board is best understood when each board member accepts and follows the one-voice principle, whereby each board members have the authority to speak in their governance capacity only when attending official board meetings. When the board speaks, it must speak with one voice rather than multiple voices of the individual members.

TERM LIMIT – ROTATION FOR BOARD MEMBERS

The trend seems to be changing bylaws that limit terms:

- Two 3-year terms

- Three 2-year terms

FUNCTION OF THE BOARD

- Determine the mission, vision, core values, and educational philosophy of the school

- Maintain school policies

- Select, evaluate, and nurutre the Head of School

- Ensure financial solvency

- Require periodic audits

- Help represent the school externally

- Serve as the final court of appeals

- Evaluate and improve itself as a governing body

Starting a school begins with a dream, grows with hope and succeeds with hard work of a founding board. If you are up for the challenge, I can be of assistance in making your dreams come true.

5. Inner Circle Thought of the Week

================================

The following are quotes from exams and papers assigned to 7th through 12th students and, for the music section, college students. They were supplied by teachers across the nation.

* When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire.

* H2O is hot water, and CO2 is cold water.

* Respiration is composed of two acts, first inspiration, then expectoration.

* Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire."

* Germinate means to become a naturalized German.

* A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct it is.

Smile and enjoy the day.
