2/20: School board size; Teach for America
Moderated by Maureen Downey

In a guest column, a Teach for America teacher wonders why Cobb wouldn’t welcome her and her peers.

@Hillbilly D,
Except for the APS system; let the three stooges run it, as it appears they would do a better job…….

The size should be limited to about 7 members. The most important is how and who you elect or appoint members to the boards. Also keep Lawyers off of it.

The size of a school board is something that should be decided locally. Keep the State and the Feds out of it.
