The Catholic School Board: Sacred Work for an Apostolic Work
by Rob Birdsell and Kent Hickey
This whitepaper, The Catholic School Board: Sacred Work for an Apostolic Work, by Robert Birdsell, President of Catholic Virtual and Kent Hickey, a Catholic School leader for 35 years and Director of Leadership Formation at ILEE, explores the spiritual and governance responsibilities of Catholic school boards. Birdsell and Hickey emphasize that Catholic school boards should function less like corporate entities and more as faith-driven bodies working in partnership with school leaders. You will learn best practices for optimizing your success with your school board and take away a “playbook” to utilize with your school leadership and the board.
