Interview with Justin King with Michigan Association of School Boards
This week we talk with Justin King, Executive Director of the Michigan Association of School Boards, an organization focused on providing quality educational leadership services for all Michigan boards of education, and an advocate for student achievement and public education with the State legislature.
Justin shares insights into the organizational structure of the MASB as well as its focus on training, advocacy and the close correlation between a trained educational board that is working in tandem with the Superintendent and high student achievement.
"We've taken a look at the districts across the country, there have been a couple of studies that show where board and superintendent are pulling the wagon in the same direction in the same way, and they're a team. That permeates throughout the community, and people feel good about it and kids tend to be in an atmosphere in their buildings where they're learning better. The opposite is also true, however; and that's the sad part where there's antagonism going on. That also permeates in the community and somehow rather the atmosphere isn't as conducive to learning. You can show that with test scores."
We hope you enjoy the show.
