A reader writes: “School boards must die. From small towns to big cities
they don’t work. They always get co-opted by either unions, ideologues,
crooks, or all of the preceding. Turn out for school board elections is
always low. To many of them are not voted on at-large but by sub districts.
It is too easy for them to dodge responsibility. They will blame the
superintendent that they hired. They will blame the voters, in desperation
for power they might blame one another but is never the board as a wholes
fault. A school Czar needs to replace the school board. A known name can
be held responsible. Go out on the street, grab ten individuals and ask
them to name one individual on the local school board. What are the odds on
any of them being able to do that?”
