The Christian School Trustee Handbook

This completely updated 3rd edition of the Trustee Handbook reflects CSM's work now in hundreds of Christian schools. Starting with Scripture and research, CSM's advice has been tested in the crucible of many Christian schools in every part of the USA. When Boards do what the Handbook says, schools thrive. With discipline and patience under prayer over time, every Board can lead their Christian school to success. Chapters are grounded on CSM's 7 Principles and provide a how-to on almost every topic of governance a Board needs. It can be used to train Board members, onboard new Board and Committee members, provide insight into typical situations a Board faces, give direction to the 5 Board Committees. This is an ideal accompaniment for a Board retreat, for deepening the Board's own governance practice, rethinking the by-laws, or writing the Principal's contract. The job of Trustee is one that requires faith, grit, hope, and a desire to learn. Read / use this book and be inspired as you support the school's mission on behalf of the next generation of children.
