Demystifying School Boards: What Educators Need to Know

Hello, and welcome to another episode of On the Way to School. In this episode, Dr. Chris Dennis demystifies school board governance — explaining the board’s fiduciary role, strategic responsibilities, and how educators can engage with or even serve on boards — while emphasizing discretion and the importance of healthy board-school relationships.

He also celebrates Teacher Appreciation Week, honoring both veteran and early-career teachers, encouraging educators to stay in the classroom, and closes with a relaxed personal sign-off.
