Challenges Christian School Boards will Face in the Next 5 Years
If a person had said to your school board, "We are going to spend a year in our homes and all of your students are going to do virtual school", your board would have probably considered having that person committed. However, we all did it, and no one saw it coming. Very few had a strategy to deal with it, and the role of the board in strategy became very visible and needed. School boards play a crucial role in the strategic operations of Christian education, However, the next 5 years are expected to bring a new set of challenges as educational landscapes continue to evolve. From adapting to career needs to managing political pressure, to adapting to possible changes in school choice, school boards will need to navigate complex issues to ensure students receive the best education possible! This episode shares some great food for thought on current & upcoming issues that every school needs to prepare for.
