Third and final report of The Path Least Taken series

posted 06-01-2016
When we first embarked on the Path Least Taken series, which we conclude with the just released third installment , we did so because we noticed a lot of attention and resources had been poured into making sure students graduated ready to enter college, but not necessarily the workforce.

It would be the supt, appropriate staff, the pres, the vp, and one or two more depending on the district's board size. I do not know of any. Do any of you? Terri

NSBA Website Design/Organizational Change

posted 08-05-2011
Recently, we rolled out a template change to www.nsba.org . This change applies to most category pages. For those of you unfamiliar with NSBA’s CMS, a category is essentially a page that behaves like a folder. It contains other documents.
