Volunteering as a school governor is a rewarding experience that has a positive impact on both your community and your career. I've been governor at a primary school for a couple of years now and here's a few reasons why I enjoy it: 1. It’s a leadership opportunity: As a school governor, I experience leadership at “board level” – I’m part of the governing body, helping to shape the school's vision, manage its finances, and analyse educational outcomes. 2. I gain transferable skills: Being a governor provides me with transferable skills that are valuable in any workplace, such as… - Strategic Thinking: I contribute to decisions that directly affect the school and its students. - Financial Management: I review and approve budgets, making tough decisions about resource allocation. - HR Skills: I’m involved in recruiting and performance managing the headteacher. - Data Analysis: I use data to inform decisions and track progress (my forte!). - Analytical Thinking: I solve problems efficiently - essential for effective governance. 3. Personal Development: Volunteering as a governor allows me to learn about areas outside of my usual expertise and from people I might not usually interact with.

Really interesting deep dive into the value of fractional leadership. The info on $ is especially interesting as "How to set a fee" is one of the first things a person in a fractional role considers.

Opportunity neighborhoods, while well-intentioned, often overlook the importance of existing social networks and the reluctance many families have to leave their communities. Uprooting families can disrupt vital social networks that provide emotional and financial support (e.g., childcare), which are critical for long-term well-being. Additionally, simply moving to a more affluent area doesn’t guarantee access to relevant job opportunities or education, particularly when transportation infrastructure and local job markets don’t align with residents’ needs. Instead, it is important that we invest in the local infrastructure of under-resourced neighborhoods by improving schools, healthcare, public transportation, and job availability. This offers a more sustainable path to upward mobility, empowering communities to thrive without forcing relocation, preserving social ties and allowing residents to access better opportunities where they live.

As we mentioned yesterday, lead poisoning can have lifelong effects, especially in children. This is especially relevant in Toledo, where many homes were built before 1978. Prior to that year, lead-based paint was commonly used in residential buildings. As these homes age, the paint can deteriorate, creating dangerous lead dust or chips that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. To protect your family, it's important to understand how lead is identified and what steps can be taken to remediate it. Watch part two of our Lead in the Home series to learn about the process of detecting lead in homes and the measures that can be taken to ensure your living environment is safe. We'll also provide tips on monitoring your child's health and development if they have been exposed to lead. Together, the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department and the City of Toledo Department of Housing and Community Development are working to prevent lead poisoning, ensuring that every child in our city can grow up in a safe, healthy home. https://ow.ly/UYUp50TPXyo #LeadPoisoningPrevention #LeadSafeToledo #NLPPW24 #GetTheLeadOut
