| Abstract | In the United States, most students attend a public school in a district overseen by a democratically elected school board. In political science, school boards are often portrayed as ten thousand democracies (Berkman and Plutzer, 2005). School board members are often described as "citizens-policymakers" because they "constitute a middle ground between normal citizens and professionalized policymakers -- with large variations based on the size of the districts and the model of selection" (Asen, 2015; Delevoye, 2020). School board members have been regarded as one of the largest groups of policymakers in the U.S. (Delevoye, 2020). Fostering an educational environment in which every student reaches a high achievement level and successful postsecondary life is a common goal of all local school boards. In education research, school board accountability, effective governance, and board evaluation are all relevant to this common goal. An important characteristic of effective school boards is "accountability driven, spending less time on operational issues and more time focused on policies to improve student achievement" (Dervarics and O'Brien, 2011). To inform school leaders of some of the current challenges and potential solutions to improve education leadership, the Center for Public Education (CPE) of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) compiled this research report. There are three parts to this report. Part I presents readers with statistics about school districts and school boards that show the diverse nature of the education system across the country. Part II shares the recent NAEP data to help readers understand the urgent call for education leaders to improve student achievement. Part III focuses on what research says about the following three discussion issues: (1) The connection between student achievement and school board accountability; (2) The association between effective governance and student achievement; and (3) The relationship between board effectiveness and evaluation.
