School board members need to take a hard look at themselves. They are a paid board that should also be accountable.

There is no excuse for not knowing what is going on at the school level. Board members don't visit schools or classrooms unless invited. Board members don't talk to staff unless approached first. Board members don't survey the teaching staff for fear of what they will find out!

The 49 percent F has been around in elementary schools for years. Wake up people, and earn the money paid you.
