Reimagining School Board Leadership: Actions for Equity. Supplemental Guide. Starting the Conversation
National School Boards Association
Last year, school leaders were faced with unprecedented challenges as they grappled with school closures, the shift to online and hybrid models of instruction, and supporting their communities with an increased awareness of the need for social justice reform. The COVID-19 pandemic and killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others shined the light on inequities that have existed in our public education system for far too long. In response to these challenges, NSBA issued its guide entitled, "Reimagining School Board Leadership: Actions for Equity." This resource was a collaboration between NSBA's Dismantling Institutional Racism in Education (DIRE) initiative and Center for Safe Schools and focused on acknowledging and understanding current events and the historical issues of systemic racism in America. This resource established a call for school boards to rise to the current challenges our school systems are facing to transform public education, with a focus on equitable access to world-class education for every student. This "Questions for Boards to Ask Supplemental Guide" provides additional resources on how school boards can engage in conversations to drive this work forward. [This report was made with contributions from Aetna, BoardDocs, Crayola, and Hennes Communications. It is a publication by NSBA's DIRE (Dismantling Institutional Racism in Education) Initiative and the Center for Safe Schools. For "Reimagining School Board Leadership: Actions for Equity," see ED626157.]
