School board members are oftentimes the policy makers for public schools. Like an elected official, they run for the position and are voted upon by registered voters. If you could interview upcoming and potential board members, what types of questions would you ask?
Here are a few questions that I would pose...
1. In my area, only 55 percent of third graders can read at grade level. What measures are you willing to take to improve the reading curriculum?
2. Despite the economic situation, how do you plan to heighten the educational and testing strides for our students?
3. An article written by national columnist, Nicholas Kristof, stated that American children drop in IQ each summer vacation. What are your thoughts surrounding year round schools? Are you willing to initiate a plan for "free" or "subsidized" tutoring/educational summer programs?
4. What is your learning style? (ie. textbook, experiential, visual, etc.) Do you consider learning styles in planning for our children's educational programs?
5. How would you define a teacher of excellence?
When you have a moment, I would like to hear your questions. Thanks in advance for your involvement.
