Open thread: school board zones, elections, and pay
May 31, 2009
Should school board members be paid? An unpaid board position is conservatively estimated to be equivalent to a half-time job. Why should service on the board be limited to those who can afford to work a half-time job for free?
Should school board members be elected by the zones they represent, instead of the whole city? Currently, school board members must live in the zones they represent, but all seats are voted on city-wide.
(Tip of the hat to Lakeitha for the open thread idea!)
