Board retreat emphasizes governance training and board responsibilities
Summary
The board agenda calls for review of board goals, completion of the 100 Series training, and information on new member roles; the Jan. 28 retreat framed governance duties rather than taking formal votes on governance changes.
The New Buffalo Area Schools board used its Jan. 28, 2026 retreat to underscore governance expectations for trustees, including a directive that members complete the 100 Series training. The agenda lists a Board Goals review and a Goal 3 entry on Board Responsibilities; materials instruct the board to get information they need regarding new roles but do not record formal action in the provided segments.
The packet lists board members by roll call (Denise Churchill, Stephen Donnelly, John Haskins, Jennifer Summers, Vanessa Thun, Greg Vosberg and Lisa Werner) but also contains an attendance note of "Absent: Werner," which the agenda text presents without explanation. The retreat appears oriented toward orientation and planning rather than taking immediate governance votes.
