[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having kids in APS is a must in my book, and involvement very desired, but what the School Board needs is someone who brings relevant skills to the table![/quote] Involvement should be a pre-requisite, no other city has as many advisory councils and commissions as APS and pretty much anyone who volunteers can get appointed. There's no reason to not get involved with one of those if you "care about the schools"--you don't have to start with the board. Plus, "the relevant skills" at the board level should include knowing how a school system works--having gone to public school for 12 years or having kids in the schools does not give you any special competency. It used to be pretty standard that candidates would have experience on the instruction, facilities, or budget committees and be active in a PTA or BLPC or something. [/quote] Very few of these people run for school board. What about the anons here tearing down CL for his lack of experience? Why don’t they run? [/quote]
