[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree 14:52 that this is an encouraging discussion, but I have a strong sense that no meaningful change will come out of the completely dysfunctional school board. Anyone have any suggestions on ways to get involved outside of the school board. PTA/PTO obviously, but that's at the school level. What about at the county level? [/quote] I would start by enlisting competent candidates to stand for school board elections. School board members hold a lot of sway in the county and the current incumbents seem wildly out of their depth in terms of their ability to implement and sustain reform initiatives. They are remarkably political in an old-school kind of way and are busy making life uncomfortable for every superintendent who enters the county. Perhaps under Baker's leadership, more talented candidates will apply for the superintendent's position and will be able to stay for more than two years at a time. The churn needs to end. [/quote]
