The MISD mission to provide
service, support and leadership
requires staff and board members
to seek professional development
opportunities to help them gain
state and national educational
perspectives that reflect
the latest trends, innovations,
and challenges.
The MISD
board has provided consistent
leadership since its inception.
Informed board members bring
stability and insight to the
organization. All MISD board
members are board certified by
the Michigan Association of
School Boards. They
continue to pursue professional
development through meetings, conferences
and workshops.
Professional development is
valuable in keeping board
members up-to-date and
well-prepared for their jobs as
policy-makers on very demanding
issues in special education and
general education.
Ongoing training is required to
maintain certification.
They attend meetings
and workshops that expand their
capabilities in:
-
Knowledge of education
(special education,
curriculum, technology etc.)
-
Knowledge of county, state
and national issues
impacting education (legal,
legislative and trend)
-
Management skills
(personnel, business,
finance, transportation and
more)
-
Leadership skills
(negotiations, conflict
resolution, communication
and problem solving)

officers pursuing additional
proficiency training have filed
