The purpose of the Key Work is to help school boards engage their communities and improve student achievement through effective governance.  The better these eight essential areas are  integrated into a systematic process, the better the results will be for all stakeholders.

The goal of this website is to share understanding and applications of the Key Work system.  It provides resources, training materials, networking opportunities, and research on effective school governance. If you need additional help with the Key Work system, please contact Kanisha Williams-Jones, Director of Educational Services. 

Check out the new Key Work of School Boards interactive forum!  This feature enables board members and other education leaders to exchange ideas, documents, experiences, and best practices related to the Key Work framework.  Our initial discussion topics will be Vision and Collaboration/Community Engagement.  Register here to join the new Key Work forum now.
