Great School Board Meetings

Serve your schools with effective board meetings

When you are elected to a school board, you have to find a way to make decisions even when people hold widely differing positions. Surprisingly enough, Robert’s Rules of Order provides great tools to achieve this. Learn the guidelines, tips and tools that will assist your board to function well and serve your students, teachers, and school community.

Hundreds of school board directors have gained the skills from Jurassic Parliament to apply Robert's Rules of Order in a positive and productive way. The book itself, Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, 12th edition, is a reference work, not a textbook. However, the key content is easy to grasp when you have the benefit of the Jurassic Parliament approach. Putting the principles into place will strengthen your diversity, equity and inclusion goals, enable you to make excellent decisions, and help your school community prosper.
