How is community readiness for jurisdiction assessed?
There are no criteria. It is up to each community to determine readiness. At a minimum, people need to be prepared to work together and should also have a vision of what the membership wants for the education of their children. It has been suggested that a self-assessment tool might be helpful to communities, containing a set of benchmarks, such as whether the school has gone through an assessment process, if the Board has governance capacity, etc.
