What BoardBook
Offers
BoardBook was developed by TASB specifically to assist districts in assembling their monthly board meeting packets in a consistent, efficient, and streamlined manner. In addition to easing the process of compiling agenda packets, BoardBook offers a searchable archive and facilitates electronic distribution — including a very easy way to prepare edited versions of original board agenda packets for public viewing. If your district is moving towards paperless board meetings, BoardBook also provides a superior tool for that purpose by creating electronic agenda packets.
Benefits from using BoardBook include:
- Immediate access to the district’s online policy manual and other resources defined by the district as important tools for decision makers: the district’s strategic plan, campus- and district-level improvement plans, etc.
- Secured access for district officials to meeting notices and agenda packets.
- An archive of past notices, agenda packets, and minutes with electronic searching capabilities.
- Easy, automated Web-publishing of BoardBook documents for public access.
- An extensive online collection of TASB's "best practices" — tips on planning and running meetings, parliamentary procedure guides, frequently asked questions about the Texas Open Meetings Act, sample agendas — a wealth of resources that can help your board conduct more effective meetings.
- The essential first steps to paperless distribution and paperless meetings.
