[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And for more proof just go to the thread about kids not knowing where to get information to study and teachers not having textbooks that align with standards just below this one. The whole system is ineffective. And yet come budget time the only thing I hear teachers talking about is salary. Every Single Year. Can't speak up about meetings or ineffective teaching, but yet somehow they find their voice on salary. They are all over our school board budget meetings then.[/quote]

Does your school board adopt teaching methods and textbooks, and approve meeting topics, at their budget meetings?

In my district these are the responsibility of the school superintendent, and the instructional directors.[/quote]

They approve textbooks and the [b]amount of money spent on meetings[/b]. They also determine with the superintendent what to focus on generally in education which would concern teaching methods.[/quote]

You’re talking about district wide trainings, not the meetings that OP and others on here are talking about. The meetings they’re talking about are not in the budget because they’re held at the school level which doesn’t cost money. It just costs a lot of time. The school board doesn’t really care about that.
