Signs of an Ineffective School Board Member
If you notice any 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.
