Governance of public schools entails responsibility in many areas, including labor relations, human resources, other personnel matters and the responsibility to understand operational processes and budgets including transportation and school safety. While no one can be expected to be thoroughly knowledgeable about all of these issues, school board members are responsible for the oversight and currency of policies in these and many other areas as they pertain to the management of public education.

These resources include policy manual rewrites and updates, employee handbook templates, transportation services and tools focused on school safety and security designed to help keep your district operating effectively and its staff and students safe.
