Why not? Can’t be any worse than the process now. Throw in School Superintendents too, they definitely should be subject to elections. But, why stop there? If these roles become elected positions then the primary qualification is convincing voters you have a plan for running a school, not a set of credentials produced by the same failing system.
Right now these roles are protected by a system that acts like a private club with the ogoal of keeping the membership small. That’s why a Superintendent who fails in one school system almost always lands a new Superintendent job relatively quickly.
