The Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association (WPSBA) is sponsoring its annual Prospective School Board Member Workshop this Thursday evening, March 29, from 5:45 to 9:30 p.m. at the Education House (5 Homeside Lane in White Plains). 

Anyone interested in running for their local school boards now or in the future is encouraged and invited to attend.

The program will feature a panel of current school board members and an area school superintendent discussing topics such as: roles and responsibilities, district issues and operations, board/superintendent relationships, school district budgets, and the myths and realities of board service. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to participate in a board meeting scenario and consider typical board of education issues. 

This workshop is open to all individuals interested in running for their local school board. It is provided as a public service of the Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association and is free for prospective board of education members from our member school districts.

Others are welcome for a $10 fee. For more information, please call WPSBA at (914) 345-8737 or email info@wpsba.org. To RSVP electronically, visit the Westchester-Putnam School Boards Association website at www.wpsba.org and click on the link for Prospective School Board Member Workshop.
