Summary

School board veterans and rookies alike will identify with Good's wide-ranging tales of board service. The book provides guidance to those facing common school board issues: school violence, censorship, public speaking, budget cuts, citizen complaints, internal conflicts, and the negative image that seems to dog school boards no matter what they do.

Author Biography
