Describe the ideal board of directors for an early childhood education program. What types of backgrounds should board members have, and what role should the board play?
What will be an ideal response?
Board members should offer some expertise in areas in which the director is not well versed, such as fiscal management, fund-raising, construction projects, or lobbying for children’s rights. However, the board should include at least one expert on child development to ensure board decisions are in the best interest of students and their development. The board’s role in the decision-making process should ideally fall between the two extremes of making all pertinent decisions that the director carries out and leaving almost all decisions up to the director. In other words, the board should be proactive but work collaboratively with the director to find effective solutions to problems.
