During these unprecedented times of COVID-19, GSBA has the safety of its membership, families and the community in the forefront. Addressing COVID-19 is causing schools and districts to work through issues that challenge governance, leadership, and management. GSBA remains committed to addressing these needs and assisting Georgia’s school boards to effectively communicate, collaborate and make decisions that best serve students and staff.
GSBA’s Board Leadership Development team stands ready to support you through this crisis, whether it is just answering questions or by facilitating customized virtual whole-board governance team training. We are also committed to making sure you have the training resources you need as you continue to hone your leadership skills and network with other school leaders to learn what best practices are being implemented throughout our state. Remember that GSBA can support your needs, whether that is through customized virtual whole-board governance team training, our new School Board U online training platform filled with new courses, or through new virtual workshops that bring together school leaders to address relevant topics that you are facing.
GSBA will kick off the virtual training options with a free 1 hour credit webinar on Thursday, April 30th. We will cover challenges of COVID-19 as it relates to budget and finance, teaching and learning and staffing and personnel. More information will be sent in a separate email to register.
