Trainer Jacob How pitches leadership and culture program to board

Jacob How, introduced by staff as the leadership training presenter, told trustees he is a Progreso High School graduate and outlined a three‑part program: assess & align; strategic organization for performance optimization; and impact & sustain. He said aligned boards and measurable governance practices can yield measurable gains—"30% higher student performance" and "staff engagement increase by 40%"—and described hands‑on sessions that include SWAT (sic) analyses and action‑planning exercises.
