Trustees Focus ON Leadership

The Kilgore Independent School District school board and Superintendent Jody Clements, joined trustees from across the state at the Texas Association of School Boards’ (TASB) Summer Leadership Institute June 17-19 in Ft. Worth. Approximately 1,000 new and veteran school leaders received in-depth training on every facet of effective board governance, heard keynote addresses from noted speakers, and gathered valuable ideas for programs that work.

Topics discussed during the two-and-a-half-day institute included effective community collaborations, college and career readiness, technology trends, district police departments, special education law, and school construction. Breakout sessions also examined social networking, school finance, bullying and gang prevention, energy management and the changing face of the Texas labor market, among others.

Sessions for newly elected trustees and board presidents offered a combination of both breakout and in depth formats. New board members focused on basics in district planning and budget, school law, boardsmanship, district policy, teamwork, and an introduction to the Texas Open Meeting Act. Board presidents explored meeting preparation, parliamentarian procedures, key legal duties, team building, and facilitation skills. Board members are required to obtain a minimum of 8 hours of training each year. Those hours must consist of team building and updates of current law. In addition new board members are required to obtain an additional 8 hours to orient themselves to local and state school board frameworks.            

The Kilgore ISD board held their regular June meeting on Monday June 28th at 6:00 p.m. The meeting was preceded at 5:00 p.m. with a planning session to discuss long range goals for the district.
