[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the Board's letter is all that draconian.  Parents (at all schools) need to stop managing their children's teachers and school administration.  They do not and should not report to you.[/quote]

It's tone that's the problem. As a parent, you better be involved in your child's education. Actually boards have a fiduciary duty to all stake holders.[/quote]

As far as I know, the fiduciary duty of a charter school board member is to the PCSB as authorizer and the DC government per the non-profit operating laws.  Boards should certainly be in communication with parents and have an ethical obligation to do so, but be clear about what the law actually says they need to do.  I might not be right about this, so feel free to cite a law or regulation that speaks to the relationship between a school board and parents of children at the school- I think the law is pretty much silent other than the 2 board members who must be parents.[/quote]

You are correct. The Board also has a responsibility to the PCSB to achieve its academic targets. [/quote]
