[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should set requirements for school board members. The bottom line is that they are parents of K-12 students and pass the drug test every year. [/quote]

Why would they have to be parents?  Every tax payer pays for the schools and should have a say.  You would do a little entitled.  It’s public education.  If you want that much say, go private.[/quote]

Not everybody understands children education. Not everybody really cares our children.
Public education has broader impacts than private education. We should avoid harmful policies being applied to our children.
It’s necessary to have requirements on school board members. [/quote]

Ok, so I guess then if people don’t have kids in the schools they don’t have to pay taxes for them?

When you vote, you can cast your vote only for parents.  I’m not sure that’s wise, but hey, it’s your vote.

Just being a parent does not mean you understand children’s education.  Look on here, lots of parents with different educational philosophies.  I would venture that there are certain parents on here that you would strongly disagree with.  If you vote solely on parental status, you might not be happy.

For what it’s worth, there are a lot of non-TJ parents you would not want on the board.  They would send the money and resource to the base schools. AAP and TJ are only popular with the parents whose kids are in them.  Other parents resent the heck out of it because they feel the advanced kids are the ones who need the resources the least.  I know both sides as I have two very different kids.
