Key Opinion - School Boards

In many cases, people have run for school board out of a vague idea that they want to give back to the community. It's a well-meaning vague idea, but too often school board members become rubber stamps for the administration. They think their purpose is to be supportive. What I propose is the opposite. School boards must always challenge school administrators to only implement educational practices that align with the community. They must guard against ideas that come from "on high". They don't do this out of malice toward local administrators, but to liberate them from the influence of the supposed experts in high places. School boards were created to keep schools local and accountable.
