Education for Trustees

In addition to classes tailored for board members at Summer Leadership Institute and the annual TASA/TASB Convention, trustees have access to the Policy Service Resource Library:

  • An Introduction to School Board Policy for Trustees (previously known as "The Little Blue Book") explains the structure of the localized policy manual and board members' role in policymaking.
  • The Policy Reference Manual is a research tool for learning about the statutory/regulatory context that Texas school districts inhabit.
  • Vantage Points provide an executive overview to the numbered updates.

And don't forget:

  • Your district's membership in Policy Service includes telephone consultation with our policy consultants for the board members. 
  • A Policy Review Session will not only freshen the district's policies; it also provides continuing education credits for the board.
