EduCast #52: The Role of School Board 101

The role of school boards is oft-misunderstood and to helpclear up their responsibilities, objectives and goals is Altoona School Board VP Hillarie Roth.  She details what theboard does, and equally important, what it doesn’t do.  How does the line of responsibilities split between the board and the superintendent?  She touches on the challenge in keeping school board actions non-partisan and trying to block extreme politics from being the major influence.  Also, why the actions of the board should matter to all residents even those without any direct connection to the schools.#educationpodcast #educationmatters #publiceducation #schoolboard #educationpolicy
