Elko Institute for Academic Achievement 2021-2022 School Performance Plan: A Roadmap to Success

The word “govern” derives from a Greek word meaning “to steer a ship."

 

"Governance is not about budget lines, personnel issues and field trip approvals. It is about values and vision and strategic leadership. The re-invention of the school board calls for a new paradigm, a fresh reconstruction of what the work of the board is to be.”

 

The ability of the charter school to carry out its mission and vision depend on the strength of its organizational foundation.  A critical element of this foundation is the charter school board itself. The board carries the mission of the school into the community and brings the views of the community into the school.
