[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When your first instinct is to assume an asst superintendent is wrong and you have the right answer, that's inexperience. [/quote] +1 And there are citizen commissions that go into this stuff in a ton of detail—boundaries (FAC), line item spending (BAC). You have a chance to work with staff and learn all the ins and outs of the policies—so that the committees can advise the board. [i]Then[/i] you run for the board. Or you go to every school board meeting and work session for a whole year before you run, like Noah Simon did. You don’t take one of five board seats to do the on-the-job learning, you’ll be wasting everyone’s time. Everyone on the FAC is smart and a fast learner, but it still takes two years to get how the CIP works. And we have no idea if you can effectively work with others on school issues if you haven’t been involved in PTA leadership or other committees. [/quote]
