Saratoga Springs City School District Board of Education Trustees Anjeanette Emeka, Natalya Lakhtakia, Tony Krackeler, and Superintendent of Schools Michael Patton presented at the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) Annual Convention and Education Expo. Their session, titled Onboarding New Trustees: Good Governance, Aligned Goals… and a Manual, highlighted the district’s systematic approach to onboarding new board members.
Attendees learned valuable strategies for goal setting, building strong board-to-board and board-superintendent relationships, and creating effective board workshops and retreat agendas. Our district is proud to have its leadership team share these best practices with districts across the state, reflecting their commitment to continuous improvement in school board governance.
