Building Stronger Relationships with School Boards During Appreciation Month

  • 1.  Building Stronger Relationships with School Boards During Appreciation Month

    Posted 01-21-2025 09:33 AM

    Hello, everyone!

    January is School Board Appreciation Month, a great opportunity to show gratitude to the school board trustees who work tirelessly to support our schools and students. As educators, we know that strong leadership at the local level is vital for the success of our schools, and honoring these trustees helps to highlight their dedication.

    We also know that it's essential that we build strong, positive relationships with our local school board members. As an expert in your field, they need to hear from you, and engaging with trustees ensures that our needs are at the forefront of decision-making. To learn more about building these critical relationships, check out our blog.

    For information about advocacy at the local level, ATPE members can add the ATPE Member Advocate Program (ATPE-MAP) Local Advocacy course to their wish list in the Professional Learning Portal now and be notified when the course opens later this month.

    As we celebrate School Board Appreciation Month, how do you engage with your local school board, and what are some ways you think educators can strengthen these relationships throughout the year?
