First, I hope you find the information on this blog are helpful. All these opinions are mine from the standpoint of view of a chess parent and a chess coach.
Second, I strongly suggest you read the following two articles from USCF. Although they are geared for chess coaches and scholastic chess organizers, they are very helpful for you to understand how scholastic chess is running. Both are well-written, but both take some time to read.

There are a few books written a decade ago, which enjoy excellent reviews. Unfortunately I have not read either one so I can't comment. But they are definitely classics. Remember one thing when you read, using computer and playing online were not popular yet a decade ago.
