Sorry, but having well meaning non parents on a school board might be like someone who has never driven making traffic laws. Or a non drinker trying to help the community.. prohibition style.
I'm sure there is always an exception, but uhh, no thanks in general.
If they can truly be logical and not let a personal agenda push them. Even with parents on board, there are issues. Unfortunately, you are correct that larger societal issued people are messing it up already.
I think there would be a lot of exceptions. I don't want kids, but I have over 32 nieces and nephews and some are now married and having kids of their own. You don't have to be a parent to put a child's needs before your own. Just morality, ethics, empathy, and common sense. And it's not like others on the school boards would all be without children, so you'd still be getting differing perspectives and input.
