Should Teachers Know Their School Board Members

The Successful Teaching Blog has some interesting comments on why teachers should get to know their school board representatives. Enter the discussion by visiting the site here.

I think that all teachers should be registered to vote and exercise their civic duty. Contacting board members is very acceptable as long as the Board/Superintendent relationship remains in place - boards set policy and hire the superintendent while superintendents administer policy through school operations.
