[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think they are going to start exercising their oversight duties just because they get more money though. I think they will start doing so if voters are calling and emailing them about tax increases though.[/quote]

The point is not to pay these current board members more, it's to incentivize better candidates to run and become members in the future.[/quote]

I don't think anyone will do any better given the current structure. they literally have no incentive to push back against the superintendent, no reason to scrutinize spending.[/quote]

I agree with this. They need independent staff.[/quote]l
That would help but again as long as their decisions are disconnect from fiscal realities they will not be willing to question the superintendent. Right now, the BOE, the Superintendent and the unions are all in bed with one another. Yes they have disagreements, but [b]when it comes to the budget they all work together to extract as much money as possible from taxpayers[/b]. Parents are not organized well enough. You need the pressure from taxpayers to learn how to justify the tax increases.[/quote]
