Signs of an Ineffective School Board Member

http://www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/showarticle/ca/298

If you notice [size=5]any [/size]of the following signs, it’s time to find some new candidates to run for your local board:

The school board member continually focuses on one issue or talks aimlessly at meetings.

The school board member doesn’t conduct him or herself in a respectful, collaborative manner in public.

The school board member comes to meetings unprepared.

The school board member “rubber stamps” all the superintendent’s proposals without asking hard questions.

The school board member micromanages rather than focusing attention on district-wide policies.

The school board member uses his position on the school board as an opportunity to put forth a political agenda with little relevance to student achievement.

For example:

Scheel's endorsement of Morgan at a board meeting before the May election.

Freeman's endorsement of "Proposal 5" at a board meeting before the November election.
