In Texas school boards are the reason the property taxes are skyrocketing. Most Texans think their property taxes are set by the state, but this is false. Property taxes are done at the local level by county, city/ town, and school district.
Guess who says they need more money because student enrollment is falling?
People think school boards don't matter because they don't have kids or their kids are grown. No, they matter. You pay big bucks to your school districts even if you don't have kids.
That is why in red states school board elections happen in off times and are "non-partisan". That way the Left can control the education and property taxes without having to fear backlash since most voters will blame the state officials and not them.
Don't cede school boards to the Left even if you don't have kids. It's your right to vote int those elections.
And yes, all those school boards elections they've lost in the past two years do freak them out. They've never lost those local seats in even the biggest of red waves. This is the first time they're being stripped of a major power. They secretly stuffed a lot of power in local seats to avoid voter wrath.

Arredondo is Chief of police on school campus, not the chief of whole Uvalde department
How many of these ‘Boards’ around the country have the ability to fire a police chief?
About the right amount of power in this case. ✅
I agree in this circumstance but it just seems very strange that a school board can do that
