One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. Ps. 145:4 The Conservative Anabaptist School Board Institute is held annually to give school board members, principals, and members of the local ministry involved in the operation of our schools opportunity to meet for mutual encouragement, inspiration, and instruction. Its major purpose is to support school boards in their responsibility to be directors who can actually provide informed, purposeful direction for their schools. Some of the goals are: to help us keep a fresh, clear Godly vision for our schools to provide opportunity for school directors from different communities to meet one another for discussion on issues they face to address topics such as finances, finding teachers, maintaining parental support, and choosing appropriate curriculum.
