Symposium Information

A message from Thomas (TAlsbury@nc.rr.com).

Recently, editors from major newspapers such as The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post, and The New York Times stated that school boards, alternative governance, board recalls, mayoral takeovers, and board dissolutions will be the "topic of the year" for 2007-2008. These trends point to a critical need for updated information on the theories, insights, and research studies of issues influencing and shaping school board governance. On September 14 and 15, 2007, esteemed researchers will convene in Des Moines, IA, to present and discuss their latest research during "School Board Research: The Main Lines of Inquiry." You are invited to share in this unique opportunity!

Why attend?

  1. Be the first to receive the very latest in school board research papers - following the symposium, these papers will be published and marketed by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.
  2. This is a unique opportunity to connect researchers with practitioners in discussions about local governance, school board and education leadership, and other relevant areas of practice.
  3. Through your learning, you can help ensure that research on school boards develops systematically and that services to school boards reflect the latest knowledge, thus increasing their effectiveness.
  4. Get up-to-date on various theories about the role of school governance in a democratic society.

This opportunity is limited to 250 participants, so register soon! The cost to register before August 17, 2007 is $425. After August 17, registration is $475. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and conference papers are included in the registration fee. To learn more and/or to register, please go to the Symposium Web site.

Symposium sponsors are:

The Wallace
Foundation, Iowa School
Boards Foundation, and Iowa Association of School
Boards.
