The Archdiocesan School Board reviewed and endorsed the Leadership Manual for Catholic School Boards at their May 17,2010 meeting. During the 2010-2011 school year, the Leadership Manual for Catholic School Boards will be introduced and implemented in Parish Schools and Archdiocesan High Schools. On-going training will be offered by the Office of Catholic Schools in order for school boards to have a common frame of reference, common vocabulary, and best practices to ensure their success.

The basic principles and insights outlined in this manual offer a clear direction concerning school boards within the Archdiocese of Hartford for Parish Schools and Archdiocesan High Schools. The hope is that this manual will be useful to Board Members, Pastors, Principals, and Chief Administrators as a means of exercising their rights and responsibilities in the service of others for the advancement of Catholic school education. Those who serve on school boards provide an environment for the teaching of doctrine, the building of community, the service of others, and the education and formation for future generations of holy men and women.
