KA SB . ORG  \nThe Board Leadership Field Guide is a publication of the Kansas Association of School Boards, 1420 SW Arrowhead Road, Topeka, KS 66604, 785-273-3600.  \nThis publication is not intended to provide legal advice. Please consult your school attorney or KASB Legal Assistance for guidance on specific questions.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe Board Leadership Field Guide was developed as an easy-to-use quick reference for those serving as leaders of a board of education. Though it is less comprehensive than KASB's Board Leadership Handbook, it compiles the most critical information ina shorter booklet designed to sit with you at the board table as you navigate your board meetings. This is not intended to serve as a comprehensive handbook with details on every facet of board leadership. Instead, it is a resource to help you in the moment and during what can often be hectic board meetings.  \nFor a more detailed overview of board leadership, take advantage of our Board Leadership Handbook or register for Board Leadership Workshops throughout the year.  \n@ KASBPublicEd 1420 SW Arrowhead Road, Topeka KS 66604-4024 [785-273-3600 | www.kasb.org](785-273-3600 | www.kasb.org)  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nThe President's Role  \nIntroduction and Overview 3  \nPresiding at Board Meetings  \nFundamental Rules and Expectations 4  \nA Motion in Action 5  \nVoting During Board Meetings 5  \nMeeting Basics 6  \nSpecial Meetings 6  \nHearings 7  \nPre-Hearing Statement 8  \nChairing Meetings 9  \nExecutive Sessions 10  \nUnderstanding the Difference 12  \nHandling Public Participation 13  \nWorking with the Board  \nThe Organizational Meeting 14  \nDealing with Conflict 15  \nBoard Self-Evaluation 16  \nWorking with Leadership  \nEvaluating the Superintendent 17  \nCongratulations! As president, you have earned the challenge and responsibility of leading the board and the district it serves. As you prepare to take on the task of leading your board, it is worth noting some of the critical responsibilities you now have:  \n Chair and preside over all board meetings;  \n Ensure that board meetings are conducted in an orderly fashion and in accordance with district policy;  \n Help plan the board agenda;  \n Encourage efficient and collaborative participation during board meetings;  \n Lead the board as it defines its own job and annual performance objectives  \n Lead the annual reviews of the board including those pertaining to the superintendent, policies, student, outcomes, etc.;  \n Support and defend the policies and programs adopted by the board;  \n Lead by example;  \n Keep other board members informed of pertinent information and matters;  \n Make appropriate committees and liaisons;  \n Seek good communication between the board, district leadership, and the community;  \n Organize the work of electing officers and orienting new board members;  \n Be the voice of the board in your local community.  \nWe know, it's a lot! And that is not even the full list of leadership responsibilities. Don't worry though, serving in a leadership position does not mean you have to lead the district on your own. Remember to lean on your fellow board members, district staff, and KASB for help and support. When we collaborate, we all do a better job of leading, serving, and advocating for student success.  \nFundamental Rules and Expectations  \nMost boards have adopted policies regarding the rule of procedure during board meetings. The president should be sure that the policy is both understood and followed. Though voting procedures may vary slightly from board to board, the procedures from KASB sample policy BCBF are fairly standard and serve as an effective framework:  \n The president will preside at all meetings. If the president is not available, the vice president will preside in their absence. In the absence of both the president and vice president, the members of the board shall elect a president","cbCaijEo9LCXdO5B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijEo9LCXdO5B","pdf",3879760,"English","# Introduction and Overview\n## Presiding at Board Meetings\n## Fundamental Rules and Expectations\n## A Motion in Action\n## Voting During Board Meetings\n## Meeting Basics\n## Special Meetings\n## Hearings\n## Pre-Hearing Statement\n## Chairing Meetings\n## Executive Sessions\n## Understanding the Difference\n## Handling Public Participation\n# Working with the Board\n## The Organizational Meeting\n## Dealing with Conflict\n## Board Self-Evaluation\n# Working with Leadership\n## Evaluating the Superintendent","[{\"question\":\"What are the president’s core responsibilities during board meetings?\",\"answer\":\"The president chairs and presides over all board meetings, helps plan the agenda, ensures meetings follow district policy, and leads the board in defining its job and annual performance objectives.\"},{\"question\":\"How does a motion work during board meetings?\",\"answer\":\"Most board actions require a motion after the member is recognized by the president or presiding officer.
