Preparing School Board Candidates with the End in Mind

Mary Nichols and Sue Chandler have both experienced the benefits of taking part in Littleton Public School's school board candidate orientation program. Orientation programs prepare candidates for the position by filling in the blanks and sharing the realities of what it means to be a school board member. The great thing about orienting board candidates is that any district can do this! Mary and Sue were elected to their boards and their experiences frame the work of a school board member.
