Create the ideal school board
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A story in Sunday’s newspaper focused on a group trying to recruit candidates for the Clayton County school board. Many people agree the current members need to go, but who will replace them?
We touched on this topic a little bit Friday, but let’s go deeper. If you could create the perfect school board, what would it look like?
Some would argue the members should have experience working in schools. Maybe it would help to have someone with experience in human resources or accounting or a developer who understands planning and growth. Others say active parents make strong board members. But few push for students to serve on school boards.
Tell me your ideal school board.
