Boards of trustees are the backbone of our schools, and they need to be high-functioning for schools to thrive and succeed. But with so much change and having operated in crisis mode for the past few years, it’s prime time for a reset and to take a fresh look at what good governance looks like today. In the Summer 2023 issue, we explore the state of governance and what’s ahead.

In every issue, we strive to cultivate conversation and community. After a few years of tumult and burnout, we’re doubling down on that in the Spring 2023 issue. This issue aspires to offer a reflective pause and inspiration, bringing together a wide variety of voices and perspectives on what it means to be a community and the importance of it.

In a world that is changing so rapidly, the standard five-year strategic plan will not work for the schools of today and tomorrow. In this issue, we explore how to help schools shift from strategic planning to designing strategy, the balance between meeting market demand and developing new programs that people don’t even know they want yet, and more. Take a look at the future of strategy.
