In these cases where many disagree, they ask you to advocate directly to the BOE - for things that effect every student/every school that there is clear agreement on (improve the drinking water, retain the reading specialists), they can and do advocate with the BOE.

For those claiming they are an extension of the teachers union, please provide examples, because I call BS. These are volunteers advocating for students, petiod.

But they do, like the cell phone bans, which not all of us want.

They just passed a healthy bell times resolution. They are advocating on this.

I agree with PP that it's unlikely to make a difference.

You know what's healthy, kids having after school activities, homework, etc. and if they don't get out till 4 PM, that wouldn't be possible.
