School governance and public accountability

How should Newark trustees demonstrate that meeting conduct and annual evaluations follow their own governance rules?

The jury discusses meeting conduct, censure, training and missed self-evaluation. Discussion considers evidence of effective governance rather than presuming that any particular sanction improves it.

Why this matters

Clear rules and visible follow-through can help residents evaluate board leadership.
