Safe Board Meetings – Organizing Effective Online Board Meetings

When schools are getting ready to begin meetings in person, it is essential that districts create safety plans to ensure the safety of attendees as well as the efficiency of the meeting.

This article shares how you can create safety strategies that protect board members, school staff and students alike.

The process of organizing a board meeting is a time-consuming process. You must collect and compile input from the board members, determine a date and time that works for everyone, book an area, and develop an agenda that will increase efficiency and productivity. Thanks to the digital tools, it’s never easier to organize safe and efficient online meetings.

Boardable’s boardroom online makes it easy to share presentations, documents and other records with the click of a button. Participants can read and make comments on these documents, even without internet access, and changes will be automatically synchronized when participants return to the digital boardroom.

Keep your meetings focused on agenda items by clearly defining their end goal. This will ensure that your board members stay on track and help them avoid the temptation to push random topics that may eat up time during meetings. For instance, instead of pushing discussions about field trip approval or textbook purchases, move those topics to the “parking lot” part of the agenda, so they’re removed prior to getting to the more urgent discussion topics.
