[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on the board of our kid's school for six years, and we absolutely stayed away from weighing in on operational issues.[/quote] DP. Depends on the school. At certain schools yes they absolutely weigh in on things like getting friends admitted, weighing in if best friend's child is in trouble, setting a tone that if the school does not do what they and their club crowd friends wants to be done at the school then the HOS will get fired, expecting their kid to get into their first choice college. There are ways in which these messages are conveyed. Spouses also seem to have input. But the major factor is keeping the power of the governing board within their social circle. That is the one thing that has been really shocking. Board members are allowed to hand pick their replacement on the board when their term limit is finished. [/quote]
