Catholic School Board-President Protocol

The primary reason school head-board partnerships break down isn't mission disagreement—it's unclear roles and expectations. This practical protocol, developed by veteran Catholic school leaders Rich Barth and Kent Hickey, provides ready-to-use language and frameworks to strengthen collaboration between boards and school heads from day one.

• Clear role definitions that prevent costly conflicts and turnover
• Employment agreement language ready for contracts or standalone use
• Mission-centered approach that keeps Catholic identity at the heart of governance
