GCSA Digital Governance Registration 2020-2021

General Information

GCSA is pleased to offer a comprehensive digital governance professional development experience beginning in 2020-2021. Board members will have opportunities to engage in live and recorded webinars to assist with meeting the requirements of SBOE Rule 160-4-9-.06. The series will also help to increase the effectiveness of your practice. The fee for the Digital Governance series is $750.00. That covers full board access. Your school will be billed upon completion of this survey.

Please note that these webinars cannot replace any of the whole board team training (quorum required), or new member financial governance (must be delivered by GADOE).

This year, with your Digital Governance subscription, you also get access to our monthly Board Boost, which is a forum for board members to explore critical topics, such as succession planning, onboarding, academic oversight, effective school leader oversight, and other topics generated by YOU! If there is a particular topic you would like us to explore at an upcoming Board Boost, please email Ayana Clarke at the email address listed below.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact Ayana Clarke, Director of Training, at GCSA aclarke@gacharters.org or (404) 838-3030.
