1.
Don’t vote for candidates who where former school administrators
for they are the problem. Edu-crats advance by the suppression of
teacher innovation, and despise boat rockers.

With the exception of a “boots on the ground” former teacher the
children are not well served when a board member is a past school
employee. This is cronyism. How does one reform his own legacy?
2.
Elect broad members who will be bold leaders ready willing and able
to object to edicts from the state capital or Washington. The Board
of Chaves (NM) County Commissioners provides an excellent example in their
lawsuit against the Bureau of Land Management. BLM is attempting
regulatory over-reach, again.
Far
too often school board members consider themselves subservient to the
superintendent when in fact they are his masters.
3.
School board elections must be held during regular election cycles.
Currently, school board and bond issues are stand alone elections (in many states).
The powers that be favor this situation as voter turn out is low and
the status quo maintained.
