A school board's job is oversight, not administration. When a proposal comes to the table, I'll ask the same three questions every time. What does it cost, who is responsible for delivering it, and how will we know whether it worked. If a policy doesn't come with an implementation plan, a means of assessing if it is working, and a reporting schedule, it isn't ready for a vote. That's not obstruction, it's the same standard I'm held to on every job site, and our students deserve at least that.
Our schools' earthquake plan is two pages long.
