[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question I have is who is accountable for poor performance? What will happen if I contact my school board rep? Or local council member? How do we as parents help improve our schools? [/quote]

We improve our schools by becoming active at our schools.  Many, many schools in the area welcome community volunteers even if you do not have kids at the school.  All you need is a $10 online background check and you can go work in the library, clean up trash in the playground, tutor students, help put up bulletin boards, write up grant applications, organize fundraisers, do a winter coat drive, gather school supplies, volunteer to speak at career day etc.  (if you aren't going to come in contact with the kids you don't even need the background check).  You could even volunteer to organize volunteers.

Our school's PTA has coordinated the process and it has been very successful.  Teachers and administrators need help and there are so many talented people in PG county that if more people pitched in we could become one of the stars of the metro area.

Writing to board members is great but change isn't going to happen from above, it needs to start in the community.
