Mayer, takes a humorous but substantive approach to the serious relationship between school administrators and board members. While the overwhelming majority of school board members have good motives, even people who mean well can make bad moves. This book shows how to prevent good intentions from creating bad outcomes. Each chapter presents a negative school board scenario, offers alternatives, and provides win-win solutions. 606 $aSchool board members$xProfessional relationships$zUnited States 606 $aSchool boards$zUnited States 606 $aSchool administrators$xProfessional relationships$zUnited States 615 0$aSchool board members$xProfessional relationships 615 0$aSchool boards 615 0$aSchool administrators$xProfessional relationships 676 $a379.1531 686 $aEDU032000$2bisacsh 700 $aMayer$b Richard E.$f1947-$01641636 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812841603321 996 $aHow not to be a terrible school board member$93985904 997 $aUNINA
