About this listen

In this episode, we explore one of the most important transitions for any charter school board: onboarding new members. Serving on a governing board is a big responsibility, and how new members are welcomed, trained, and supported makes all the difference.

We’ll cover:

  • The four core oversight roles every board member must understand
  • The difference between governance and management—and why it matters
  • What school-specific knowledge new members need to be effective
  • Key compliance steps like background checks and conflict disclosures
  • The importance of ongoing training, self-education, and mentorship

Whether you’re onboarding new members or stepping into board service yourself, this episode offers a clear roadmap for building confident, mission-driven governance from day one.
