Also, If you are or were a member of a teachers union, you are barred from holding a position on the School Board. As a school board member you loyalties should lie with the wishes of the people of your district, not the teachers union.
Parents of SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN with Public School att ndance should be required. Most of these board members have kids in private schools, so yher s no incentive to keep the School Boards honest. The Boards don't care what hapo na to the children as long as [they] maintain control. It should be obligatory for ALL public school teachers with children to enroll their kids in public school, too. There are a lot of teachers who have kids in private school, also.
What about people whose kids grew up and no longer attend, but the people on the board have been contributing to the community in that way for years? I think you might need to relax just a tad on this. For instance: "My niece attends school in this district." That is technically "skin in the game," wouldn't you agree?
Also, school boards propose budgets and property owners without children in the school pay the outrageous property taxes (which fund School budgets in my state). They deserve a voice also.
I would agree except in a couple cases. The Constitutional classes that Patriot Academy puts on turns out young people who are on fire to serve. They have numerous instances of recent students who want to turn around and serve on the school board. I think their input could be very valuable. I would not limit it to only parents. Grandparents and other relatives could also be good. I do think it is the responsibility of the entire community to at least attend meetings because it's the parents who have the least time of anyone. No time in life is as busy and overwhelming with two parents working than when you have kids in school. So the rest of us need to be taking up some of the slack for them.
Good post - wouldn't mind seeing a standalone post just about Patriot Academy. Could be used as an aggregator thread. I got something else cooking and am (for now) unfamiliar with school-aged children and the concerns of parents.
I can vouch for old ladies and fags on several local school boards with no apparent interest in the educational system. Its almost like there is an agenda....
I'm pretty sure there's some kid diddlers on our school board. They were so scared of the parents at our last board meeting they tabled the vote on masks. Greg Powers in an anti American cunt.
Yes absolutely. In any sensible system the admin would have a stake in it typical of other users of the system, otherwise it systematically creates perverse outcomes, almost by definition.
This is true. People without children don't have the same knowledge and understanding of what is good or bad for the kids. Parents should be on school boards but it's also true that parents who have drunk the Kool Aid are just as unhinged as those without children. They are virtue signalers of the highest order. These are the people that don't believe in gender identity, believe completely in CRT and anything else that gushes forth from MSM or the Democrat Party. These are the parents that think Comet Ping Pong is a great place to take their kids and let their kids entertain the DC elite at pool parties accompanied by someone they hardly know.
Personally, this is the problem I have with Catholic schools run by priests and nuns. They have no experience raising their own children. When they come from your body there's a much different bond and a different knowledge than people who have never had their own child.
Seeing the craziness surrounding Covid is opening a lot of eyes. I know much more now than before covid regarding medicine, politicians, schools, corporations, elections, media, censorship, etc.
Yep, all the people currently paying taxes with no kids in the schools are doing such a great job pushing tranny, crt, and all the other marxist garbage. It should be a condition for getting your name on the ballot that you have a kid in one of the schools. You would still have plenty of options of who to vote for. Tbese current school boards, especially in larger cities consist mainly of lefties and serves as a stepping stone for radicals to move up in public office. They need cut off. Why do you think that people with no kids in the school should be making any decisions? Taxes? Okay thats great. The people with kids also pay taxes. But i commend you if you would be one of the noble, non-agenda having and pure intentioned members of the board but you would be in the minority.
Yes! The public school system is so corrupt. Had a former board member tell me they go through training once they are elected. The training teaches them to act as a team and vote together on everything. Fucking bogus
Can see your point; however, EVERY citizen has (at least, SHOULD HAVE) a vested interest in the future of our children and our country as today's youth will be our COUNTRY'S TOMORROW. They will be tomorrow's parents/grandparents, community/governmental leaders, scientists, teachers, healthcare providers, emergency service providers, religious leaders, and will hold EVERY POSITION/JOB you can imagine and more. As such, their education will, in large part, determine what that future - EVERYONE'S future - will be.
While having kids in school undoubtedly generates more interest in a lot of people, there are A LOT of brainwashed, sheeple, commie, power-hungry parents who aren't fit to make decisions about training a pet, let alone making decisions about educating children.
IMHO, a few of the MOST important qualifications for board membership should be a candidate's views/positions on key topics, dedication/activism to the cause, and the way the candidate leads his or her life. Most school board candidates are known within their communitues and there's a lot of info on the internet, so weeding out the wheat from the chaff and the truthful from the posers/frauds SHOULDN'T be rocket science, though, this would require voters to actually CARE enough to actively participate in the election process - run themselves or pay attention, campaign, dig and make known concerns about inappropriate candidates.

Childless adults have no stake in the future and therefore, no valid opinions.

Well, anybody who pays taxes should be represented as to where and how their money is being spent. But yeah, I get the point.
That's what attending the meetings is about.
You wanna serve on the board? You better have kids that go there.
This would also limit terms for Board members.
What about people whose kids grew up and no longer attend, but the people on the board have been contributing to the community in that way for years?

Exactly. As a taxpayer with grown kids, I deserve input regarding taxes. The largest portion of my property taxes go for schools.
Parents with enrolled kids should have the biggest voice regarding curriculum and operational policies.

I was a kid and went to school...so what if i don't have kids
Then you have no reason or interest in serving on the school board. None.
Bullshit. Taxes?

Sp you don't think it's possible that Catholic priests care about anything?
No
Citizenship through military service while you're at it.
Service guarantees citizenship.
Would you like to know MORE ?
High five dude. high five.
Yes! The public school system is so corrupt. Had a former board member tell me they go through training once they are elected. The training teaches them to act as a team and vote together on everything. Fucking bogus
Cool as long as no taxes come out of my $$$ to pay for the school.
Yes!!
lol!
Fully agree. If you’ve got no skin in the game, you have no right to make the decisions.
Common Sense?

Or a grandparent. I agree. I cannot imagine anyone who loves a child would g a g them and starve them of oxygen and smiles or frowns.
Same goes for world leaders.
Fuck off handshake troll. Go back to reddit
I think you're a fucking faggot and clown moron, handshake cuntbag.
