What Is eXceptional Governance (XG) Board Development?

What Is the XG Project

Research shows school boards have a direct impact on student achievement. How can your board set students up for success? The answer is exceptional governance.

TASB’s eXceptional Governance (XG) Board Development aims to develop practices that build a culture of good governance across Texas school districts. XG is a collaborative, customized experience designed to empower trustees to focus on what really matters: improving student outcomes.
