Management by committee is a very bad idea.
Put in a mayor, with full powers and full responsibility for results.
In school systems, abolish school boards, put in a superintendent, and likewise make him responsible for results.

Just like in the White House now
“In school systems, abolish school boards, put in a superintendent, and likewise make him responsible for results.”
In my home county we always had a superintendent who was appointed by the county commissioners. It worked great! The school budget was always turned in to the commissioners in plenty of time for them to go through it and cut it if necessary.
The superintendent also made unannounced appearances in the schools and sat in on classes as well as ate the same lunches the students ate.
The schools ran great and were highly rated.
After we were invaded by enough yankees they lobbied for, and got, an elected school board.
Since then the school budget is never on time, in fact usually late. They spend taxpayer dollars without concern. The quality of the education available has gone to hell. The board members never visit the schools and have no idea what is going on.
School boards should be banished and anyone advocating for them should be locked away forever.
