Okay but that ignores the fact that APS makes terrible decisions and the school board doesn't step in on important policy decision. See: no new instruction last spring, no vote on RTS, no vote on Concurrent for 3rd graders, no vote on virtual academy next year, no vote on abandoning 3 ft distancing next year. That is not what happens in other districts. APS school board is alone in its utter disregard for accountability.[/quote]

With all due respect, the structure of the APS school board does not allow them to vote on decisions that lie with Dr. Duran. They have different powers of what they are able to vote on and pretty much all of the decisions you are talking about we’re not held to a vote. The board and Duran have specific responsibilities and they can’t just “take a vote” on something that they don’t have power over.

Also, there is 0 chance of more days for students for the rest of this year. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Not changing. Move along.[/quote]

NP  I agree with this.  However, it is absolutely within the realm of SB members' responsibility and authority to ask tough questions, guide the Superintendent, and push issues.  They haven't done that, either.[/quote]
