Abstract: In line with the Center on School Turnaround's charge to support states' efforts, they sought to highlight three districts engaged in focused turnaround efforts where their respective boards played a key role in catalyzing, shaping, and supporting targeted improvement efforts. This brief is one of three describing the work. The three briefs examine Baboquivari Unified School District (Arizona), New Haven Public Schools (Connecticut), and Wichita Public Schools (Kansas). The goal in developing these briefs is to present information-rich cases that could inform state and district efforts to optimize the board's role in school turnaround. Each brief includes a district profile; descriptive information about the broader community and state context; a description of the district's turnaround efforts; an overview of the board's membership, organization, and functions; a discussion of the board's role in the turnaround effort; and key takeaways. For this case study of Wichita Public Schools, the authors conducted interviews with the superintendent, two senior district administrators, two former board members, and four current board members. In addition, they attended and observed a routine board meeting in March 2015; reviewed the district's website; analyzed student performance data; and reviewed board meeting agendas, policies, and minutes.
