Which school? Ours doesn’t have open meetings.

I didn’t say it was open to everyone, I was invited.

Why would you be invited?

For the topic discussed. If you have attended board meetings you would know.

What topic?

That sounds like you have zero experience with organizational leadership.

This post is like looking inside the mind of a toddler.

Do you understand the laws associated with nonprofits? Each state has its own nonprofit code that sets forth powers and responsibilities and then case law. There is no collective.

But you could base your decisions on the inputs from parents, right? No law prevents that.

The board has to act within the requirements of their duties. Whether other parents agree or not really isn’t relevant. The parents may want them to do something that breaches a duty. Even if all parents want that, they cannot act in that way.

Delaware has a lot of case law. Maybe Google.

Yes, and your sharp response really strikes me as coming from someone with a lot of organizational experience.

Well, a lot of boards publish their minutes. They excel at transparency. Most School board do not. Maybe google it as well.

Most people on the boards are there for their financial connections not their neural connections. At our school the real estate agent went on the board the first day he was at the school. I’ll bet he downloaded every parent contact. Embarrassing.

Somehow I am not surprised.

Too much power?

Maybe potentially, but rarely in practice.

Members are chosen by the Administration with an eye to their likely support. And the Board receives almost all their information from the Administration.

Recently they decided on using artificial turf for the athletic field for cost reasons without consulting the patents.

I enjoy most things of my private school, and also I enjoy when the money pay is used efficiently to benefit most kids. In a capitalist economy , as a customer you can request some standards to a provider. In a communist regime, you have to comply and don’t have the right to ask or discuss. You seem to be better suited for a communist regime.

Your thought experiment leading to your question is absolutely bananas. Among all your recent postings, this one is really stands out as an eye roller. It reflects a complete misunderstanding of how nonprofits operate and what effective school governance looks like. Further, it starts with the assumption that boards are made up of inept thinkers and that you have a better idea as to how the world should work.

Yes, they have a lot of power. When it is used for corruption, it can ruin schools.

No, but I can see the effects of lead paint at school on you.
