Staff report

KSBA’s board of directors gathered March 17-18 at the Ignite Institute in Erlanger for its quarterly meeting and annual retreat. Friday included committee reports, a legislative session update, approval of financials and a recap of KSBA’s recent Annual Conference. Boone County school board member Karen Byrd, installed as the association’s 48th president, presided over her first meeting. Traditionally, the first meeting of each KSBA president is held in his/her home region.

The following day was devoted to discussion of the 2022 board self-evaluation. Using results from a survey distributed to all 27 members of KSBA’s board, the group took part in an interactive session facilitated by Andrea Messina, chief executive officer for the Florida School Boards Association. Amid a series of prompts, KSBA's board was asked, “What do you want the legacy of this board to be?”
