The Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) held its annual regional meeting at Norwood Pines in Minocqua on Thursday evening, Oct. 23. Prior to the meeting, Al Brown, Ed. D.WASB Organizational Consultant, offered two workshops. The first, Legal Roles and Responsibilities of School Boards, provided an overview of key areas of Wisconsin law, including open meetings, public records, conflicts of interest, liability and risk management, and a board's power and duties. The second workshop, entitled the Financial Roles and Responsibilities of School Boards, provided an overview of key areas of school district budgeting for school board members, including relevant statutes, the budgeting process, effective and efficient resource utilization, and community participation. McCloskey welcomed the group and thanked them for attending, noting it was double the attendance from the prior year. Following a buffet dinner, the feature presentation: Excellence in the Classroom Begins with Excellence in the Boardroom began.

Dr. Al Brown, a retired 35-year administrator, facilitated the session explaining that research shows that effective school boards make a positive impact on student achievement.

Discussion at each table centered around the question, how can your board ensure that it is governing as effectively as possible?

In 2012, Captain McCloskey was elected to the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) as the District 2 Director representing 21 northern Wisconsin school boards.

Region 2 School Districts include Chequamegon, Crandon, Elcho, Florence, Hurley, Lac du Flambeau No. 1, Lakeland UHS, Laona, Mercer, Minocqua, North Lakeland, Northland Pines, Phelps, Phillips, Prentice, Rhinelander, Three Lakes, Tomahawk, Wabeno Area, White Lake, Woodruff J1, and CESA 9.
