School Board Governance and Student Achievement: School Board Members' Perceptions of Their Behaviors and Beliefs
Plough, Bobbie
Educational Leadership and Administration: Teaching and Program Development, v25 p41-53 Mar 2014
The intent of this study is to determine whether there was a difference between school board members' perceptions of their own behaviors and beliefs related to student achievement in California's high-performing poverty districts as opposed to such perceptions in low-performing poverty districts. Due to the findings of this study, the author calls on policymakers to place more attention and provide greater support to school boards for the good of public education.
