School board members play an important role in shaping the education experience and achievements of students.

NZSBA hosts a series Kōrari workshops throughout New Zealand to help people understand the role of school board members and inspire them to get involved – either by standing for election or voting in the mid-terms.

We recommend you share this guide with those who may be interested in joining the school board as well as new members.  It provides an outline on what a school board is and does, the role of its members, what to expect from school boards and help provided to board members.
