If the school board shouldn’t be in charge of anything then why even have one. As for the accusation of school board members “ can’t even spell school “, two things. Get off of your “ educated high horse “ and don’t say anything like that unless you have proof. Number two, some of the wisest people I’ve known have very little education. Some of the unwise have a string of degreesIn that instance then yes the person who has experience with a particular aspect of things should carry a little more weight.
I also don’t believe the school board should be in charge of anything. In many interactions with members from various districts most of them can’t spell school much less have any clue what actually goes on in one. At best they should be a slightly more influential version of a PTO.
