[quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? I will not take that risk for a candidate just talk but without any  experience relative to education and Volunteer work.

The difference is the president has absolute power in certain areas. The BOE is one of 7 (8 with SMOB, right?). One rogue board member can't do much unless they convince a few others of their side. I like the alternative viewpoint Austin may bring. Why do so many BOE votes end up unanimous? It shows they're all a bunch of yes-women. MoCo values diversity, let's get some viewpoint diversity also.[/quote]

So you're ok with voting for a rogue board member (your term), because he'll be ineffective, too?

We need a diversity of viewpoints, including the viewpoint of a person who has no experience with the system they're supported to be overseeing?

I just don't get it.[/quote]

I'm saying worst case scenario. I think he's competent, and I thikn he's good at financial stuff. I also think even if he's mediocre at those, he'll be better at those than any current board members. We don't need more ex-teachers on the board --we have plenty of those already.

Worst case: he's incompetent and is the lone dissenting vote
Best case: he pushes for more financial controls and auditing, and convinces other board members that's worthwhile so it passes

I'm willing to take that risk.[/quote][/quote]
