“If you’ve ever wondered how you can be more involved in our schools, running for a seat on one of our school boards is a great way to make a difference,” said Lake County Superintendent of Schools Wally Holbrook. “This workshop is designed for individuals interested in running, and who may need more information to make that decision.”
The agenda will include information on the role of a board member, brown act review, and major areas of responsibility.
Additionally, a panel of experienced board members will share their knowledge and advice.
Even though this workshop is designed for interested potential board members, seated board members are also welcome to attend.
