The Trustee Handbook is a guide to shared governance. It is intended to assist California's 341 county boards of education members as they seek to contribute to the education of Californians in each county and throughout the state. Specifically, the purpose of the Handbook is to provide county trustees with an understanding of the purpose of the county office of education, guidance on the authority of county board members and the county board, insight into the roles and responsibilities of the county board in connection with governance of the county office of education as well as the roles and responsibilities of the county superintendent of schools, and guidance on how a county board can best fulfill its roles and meet its responsibilities in collaboration with the county superintendent of schools. The Trustee Handbook is not a mere update of prior volumes on governance. Instead, it represents the first edition of a new approach to the topic, with new content and commentary focused on the contemporary questions facing county board members and superintendents.What's inside? The historical narrative in Chapter 1 provides an entirely fresh account of the origin story of the county board. The listing of board member duties in Chapter 2 is fully updated, summarizing - in less than two pages - all the Education Code provisions that vest the county board with its various powers, some discretionary and others mandatory. Chapter 3 provides a new perspective on the urgency of collaboration. Chapter 4 offers a set of newly authored FAQs focusing on contemporary questions of law and governance. Based on interviews conducted this year with county board members and superintendents, Chapter 5 presents case studies of successful shared governance. Finally, Chapter 6 provides a listing of available resources and tools.Good governance requires trustees to possess a solid understanding of the issues that come before county boards, an appreciation for the power of system-wide coherence, and a commitment to establishing and pursuing strategic goals. With the Trustee Handbook in hand, county board trustees will be better equipped to work collaboratively with county superintendents to accomplish significant system improvements.
