CHARTER BOARD GOVERNANCE DIAGNOSTIC: OFFICIAL LAUNCH OFFER!

PURCHASE YOUR ASSESSMENT BEFORE 5:00 PM (Hawaii Standard Time) THIS FRIDAY (Aug 21st) 

AND SCHEDULE YOUR PRIVATE DEBRIEF WITH ME ANYTIME BEFORE DECEMBER 31ST, 2026.

Here's a brick wall I've observed many charter school boards run into in my 21+ years of working in the sector: nearly every board agrees they should assess their own performance, but very few actually do. 

This gap between good intentions and execution exists for two simple reasons. 

1. There are few rigorous, sector-specific assessment tools available.
2. Boards rarely have access to a governance expert to translate assessment data into actionable steps. 

Of the few survey tools I have seen over the years, they strike me as being clunky (e.g., "On a scale of 1 to 5, to what extent do you feel board meetings run efficiently and effectively?") and/or are larded with fluffy questions like "On a scale of 1 to 5, how satisfying do you find serving on this board to be?" 

Um, yeah. Can I just say that if your board is serious about elevating governance, protecting the charter, and fulfilling its fiduciary duties, questions like those provide zero value. (And don't get me started on averaging 1 to 5 scale ordinal data--a fundamental statistical no-no!)

To solve this problem head-on, I have now packaged my board self-assessment survey into a streamlined, high-impact engagement, consisting of the following:

• A Comprehensive 50-Question Diagnostic Survey: Each board member and your chief executive receive secure access to a survey whose questions I've been developing and refining with actual clients for over two decades. 
• Independent & Anonymous Participation: Everyone completes the online survey at their convenience. Only aggregate responses are shared with the school, thereby preserving individual anonymity.
• A Private 2-Hour Strategy Session: Once your survey window closes (on a date you choose), I aggregate the data and lead a live, private two-hour strategy session with your full board and chief executive (or, if you prefer, a committee) to review my findings, address blind spots, and benchmark your practices.
• Actionable Next Steps: Your board walks away with concrete, practical recommendations to immediately strengthen governance and oversight. You simply record having completed the assessment in your minutes, and it's official: your board has participated in a meaningful self-assessment of its performance that it can refer back to (for example, at charter renewal time).

The Launch Incentive: Save $500

To mark the launch of this service, I am making assessments available at a steep discount:

• Launch Discount: $1,250 (Full regular fee: $1,750)
• Deadline: Must be reserved before close of business this Friday, August 21st.
• Flexible Execution: Lock in your special rate now, and conduct the survey and two-hour debrief anytime before December 31, 2026 (ideal for fall retreats or strategic planning cycles).

But Wait, There's More 

If you’re old enough to remember classic late-night commercials, you know what follows every special offer: But wait, there’s more.

If you purchase your board's assessment by Friday's deadline, I will also conduct a Review of Your Current Bylaws using the principles of my Board CHAMPS Model™. I normally charge $750 for this review alone, but I'm including it at no additional cost with this launch offer.

How to Reserve Your Board’s Spot

To lock in the $1,250 launch rate and claim the complimentary bylaws review for your school, simply purchase before Friday at 5:00 PM. After you have purchased the assessment, I will contact you to schedule the survey and review session which you have until December 31, 2026 to complete.
