| News and Events Effective schools are successful because of a combination of factors that encompass every aspect of the education provided to students. Effective school leadership is one important element. The State of Illinois, in recognition of this factor, recently established the requirement that all school board members receive training in the various aspects of their positions as district leaders and decision makers.
The Metropolitan Institute of Higher Education, (MILE), at GSU was recently designated as a certified training entity for school board member and will begin conducting leadership training workshops in the fall.
In a recent letter to MILE Director Alicia McCray, State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch wrote "...you are highly qualified and meet/exceed the application requirement to train school board members."
In its capacity as a designated trainer, MILE will lead workshops for school board members on leadership skills, which include fiduciary, ethics, and governance responsibilities.
"MILE has offered programs for school board members since its founding in 2006. We are delighted that we have been recognized with this certification and feel uniquely qualified to provide this service," said McCray.
