President Terri A. Weems opened a retreat presentation on board effectiveness and introduced legal counsel Kevin Sutton of Miller Johnson and consultant Curt Bechler, Ph.D., of Venture International, Inc., who reviewed board–superintendent protocols and communication procedures. Trustees discussed examples provided by the presenters and asked clarifying questions about expectations for member‑staff interactions.
