At the time of writing this introduction, the New Zealand Government and media are talking about the knowledge wave economy – if we were able to reduce any limitations that school Boards of Trustees (BOT’s) experience and encourage them to use their creativity, positively affecting every child in our education system, and the whole of society as they enter the workforce, there would be a far greater impact on the whole of society. Within the time I spent on the BOT (5 years), I or other BOT people I met, had experienced some frustrating times. This survey endeavours to find out if these issues are fact or myth and what may be hindering BOT’s to perform at their best.
