Meetinghouse Solutions brings
experience from nearly a decade of working with charter school boards
across the country to your unique situation. Our work commonly includes:
Customized training
for individual charter school boards
- Have lots of new board members
who need an orientation to effective charter school governance?
- Need to transition from a
founding board to a governing board?
- Keep wrangling with your school
leader about governance vs. management and need to take some time to
hash things out?
Meetinghouse Solutions creates
customized trainings to help you address the important issues facing
your board.
Board retreats tailored for your specific needs
- Need to re-energize your board?
- Trying to figure out where
you’ve been and where you need to go?
- Need to decide if you are ready
to open another campus?
- Or just need to do some annual
planning?
Meetinghouse Solutions will tailor a
dynamic board retreat that will harness the energy and full
potential of your board.
Needs Assessment
- Not sure how your board is
doing?
- Know you need training but
don’t know what the most effective use of time and money would be?
Have Meetinghouse Solutions conduct a
needs assessment of your board (or start with our handy board
effectiveness quiz) and make some clear recommendations on how to move
your board forward.
Strategic/Annual Planning
- Need to create and annual plan
that clearly delineates what the board is responsible for and what the
management will be responsible?
- Want to create a longer-term
strategic plan?
- Trying to determine if you are
ready to open an additional school?
Meetinghouse Solutions works with you
and your charter and accountability plan to deliver an action-oriented
planning process.
Development/Fundraising Planning and Coaching
Work with the board, school leader and development director to create a
realistic fundraising plan and help you get traction in implementing it.
School Leader Coaching, Support, and Evaluation
Most boards do not do an effective job at evaluating and supporting
their school leader. Meetinghouse Solutions will help you create an
effective year long plan that will strengthen the partnership between
the board and school leader.
Group trainings for charter school resource centers, state
associations, authorizers and other support organizations
Speaking engagements
These are examples of the type of work commonly done by Meetinghouse
Solutions. We would be happy to customize a program and approach to
your specific needs.
