Being on a School Board is an important responsibility. The local school board makes decisions that affect the lives of the students and parents who depend on the local school district. Citizens do not understand many things about the lives of a school board member.
1. Legally the local school board can only change some things in the public schools. Many people take on the challenge of becoming a school board member with great intentions of transforming things that have long annoyed them only to find there are binding contracts, as well as state and Federal Laws that the school board and local government officials lack the authority to fix.
2. Parents will often forget to praise school boards in the good years, but they never forget the phone numbers, emails, and fax numbers of the school board members when things go wrong. Never expect praise, but have plans to manage parents and taxpayers when the challenging times present themselves.
3. School board members should always have a plan for education cuts. While most school boards are publically optimistic about educational funding, not having a plan of where the cuts will be made, especially in challenging economic times, is foolhardy. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. The public will respect a school board that fights for funding but is prepared to handle economic challenges.
4. Officials should set boundaries between public and private life. Even local school board members can find the public intrusive in their private lives. It is important to set and maintain personal boundaries. The public will respect and honor people who remain professional, but become confused and angered at people who send mixed messages about personal boundaries.
5. Members should take a break when issues get personal. Education inspires passionate responses from the public and other government officials. Sometimes it is important to walk away, get composure, and approach the issue with a renewed sense of professionalism. It solves nothing when people sink to sniping and petty arguments. It also leaves the public with little confidence in the board’s ability to manage educational issues.
6. School boards should help the public by making things simple. When writing rules and regulations, make it legal, but make it easy for the public to understand and maintain compliance.
