Dug, I don"t know just how to run your campaign, since I"m not in your area and therefore, not in tune with your local issues. I would imagine that they are much the same as anywhere else, (never enough money, low test scores, and union demands). YOu mentioned holding the politicians accountable. This is true, but once you are elected to the schoolboard, you too are a politician, and you then become accountable. You can also demand accountability to the rest of the board including the superintendent. Maybe ESPECIALLY the superentendent. YOu must also demand accountability of the educators themselves, and not allow the union to bleed the cash register. Tax payers and parents deserve a quality product for the money they spend, and they do spend enough money. If students arent getting a quality education with the dollars presently spent, then they certainly cant expect to get more for their money if more money is spent. There is absolutely no relationship or correlation between the quality of education and the amount it cost to educate. Some of the best educated students attend schools with limited resources. It all hinges on committment and integrity. The core mission must always be, from politicians to unions, to educators,and parents: Children first. Not Administrators careers, not union wages and benefits, not school lunch and other social distractions, but Education. If you can campaign around those pricniples, I believe you can win and do your community a great service.
