The creation of a campus advisory board consisting of administrators, counselors, teacher leaders, and support staff would most likely result in what outcome?

• A. Staff will be supportive of the vision and will help to accomplish their assigned roles
• B. Increased conflict and confusion
• C. Budget surpluses
• D. Loss of administrative control

Answer: (A)

Bringing together administrators, counselors, teacher leaders, and support staff on a campus advisory board fosters shared leadership and ownership of the school’s vision. When multiple groups with different perspectives contribute to shaping and implementing the plan, people see their input reflected in decisions, understand their roles in the vision, and feel empowered to act. This openness builds trust, reduces silos, and aligns daily work with the vision, so staff are more likely to support the direction and proactively carry out their assigned responsibilities.

While some might worry about potential conflict, a well-structured board with clear purposes tends to improve communication and collaboration rather than create chaos. Currency or budget outcomes aren’t guaranteed solely by governance structure, and administrators still maintain essential decision-making authority—input from the board informs those decisions rather than replacing them.
