Series Introduction

This project was developed at Indiana University in conjunction with the Indiana School Board Association (ISBA). Our collective goal was to create a program that strengthened the capacity of school board members in the area of school finance. We want you to lead better because you understand Indiana school finance in a meaningful way. We also wanted to develop a set of credentials that signaled to others that you, as a board member, have invested a significant amount of time thoughtfully thinking about school finance. We have an overarching theme of Good Stewardship. And this Good Stewardship is demonstrated through our pillars of Governance, Planning and Accountability.
