I agree that princpals need more say in the "big picture" actions of their schools, but it is not the school boards that are the problem it is the out-of-touch Superintendents and their "yes men/women" staffs. As for the school board members being high school graduates .... the school board should reflect the composition of the parish. Adults that what the best for students should be the a key element -- not a stepping stone for a one-liner on a resume. - Watercooler Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:39:13 +0100
