Board Fundamental: Meetings, Responsibility, and Structure

Joel Sensenig outlines the essential roles, practices, and principles for effective Anabaptist school boards. Drawing from experience as chairman and secretary in a small school, he describes different board roles, including chairman, secretary, and treasurer, along with their specific responsibilities. He lists practical meeting habits, including timely starts and prepared agendas, while stressing confidentiality and up-to-date constitutions and handbooks. The talk closes with a call to personally own and invest in Christian education as a high priority for the next generation.

“Board Fundamentals: Meetings, Responsibility, and Structure” was presented by Joel Sensenig at Christian School Administration Institute (CSAI 2026).
