In many places, the school board is a joke. All the school board knows is what the school superintendent and administration tell them. And the school admin only tells them what they want them to know. Dumbazz school board members sit there and rubber stamp approval to whatever the administration puts in front of them. I have seen way too many school board members with selfish personal reasons they wanted to be on the board. Things like, they don't like the way the football program is being run (their kid didn't start first string), they want to get their family members a job, their wife is a teacher and doesn't like her administrator (the wife is a trouble-making beoatch), it is good for their business, it is a social status symbol, and on and on. The board doesn't have a clue regarding the big decisions about school finance, discipline, position qualifications, policy and procedures, and school safety. The board passes whatever the administration lays in front of them. Thinking things through is hard. Asking questions is hard. And too much trouble for too many. Nobody wants to rock the boat and be the odd man out.
