True accountability depends on open decision making, community engagement and support, and receptivity to new ideas and constructive criticism.Policy & Board Operations: Policy is how a board sustainably exercises power to serve students. Through policy, school boards establish a set ofcohesive guidelines able to transform vision into reality.Community Leadership: Through public advocacy and community engagement, school boards share their concerns and actions with the public.Community leadership that builds public support is vital to implement the board’s vision.Board/Superintendent Relationships: Both the school board and the superintendent have essential leadership roles that are interconnected but different.
