BOARD DEVELOPMENT
Effective. Structured. Systematic. Practical.
SchoolRight, LLC, is pleased to partner with Dr. David A. Wells in Board Development & Training!
School boards need training! Appropriate professional training is required and necessary for teachers, principals, and administrators, yet few boards or board members have ever received any training for their role! Board training is equally required and necessary.
