In this issue, we’ll explore two areas of school life where trust matters most—school board relations and school bond campaigns. To aid you as you cultivate the broader community support you need to pass a referendum, we’ll also detail stories of school bonds from around the country—both successful and otherwise. We hope this will help you better understand what’s necessary to pass a bond against any odds. To help you communicate with your stakeholders more effectively, we’ll revisit the unifying power of storytelling. We’ll also give
you tools to help build relationships with your school board that will translate into solid gains for your district’s students and families.
