Task Forces

CUBE is supported by four issues-based task forces. The Communications, Racial Isolation, Urban Student Achievement, and Governance & Training task forces consider and discuss key issues faced by urban school board members. The goal of each task force is to study and research issues, identify workable solutions and strategies, and produce materials and outcomes to assist all CUBE members. Especially important, the task forces help direct CUBE on ways to strengthen services to its members.

Each task force is led by a small executive group that sets the agenda, promotes work continuity and provides leadership in delivery products to members.

The task forces meet and sponsor programming in conjunction with CUBE conferences and meetings throughout the year.
