In my experience, public school administrators rarely if ever are held accountable for anything: job performance, expenses, even actually being in the building during school hours. Their salary is at minimum triple that of a teacher and they are accountable only to themselves. A school board member called into Garage Logic and told them that at his MN School Board Association training he was told that the job of a board member is to support the Superintendent. I thought the board was the entity to which the Superintendent was accountable, but that is not the case.

The answer to this problem is to support conservative school board candidates or get involved and run for the position yourself. Get active and find out what’s happening.

Yes they will try to bamboozle the school board member into believing they have to rubber stamp the superintendent and his administration, but it is really the other way around. They are elected by the people and their job is keep an eye on the school district and its policies.

I have seen school board members elected with less than 100 registered voters voting in the election. Bad things happen when nobody is overseeing or caring what is happening in the district - usually the teachers, students, and tax payers suffer.

Oh, and scrutinize the bond elections that always seem to cover the continual improvements for athletics and other non-essentials rather than the improved education of the students.
