The County Board of Education: the Best Kept Secret in Education
In my area of Riverside County most of my neighbors did not know that a County Board of Education exists. With a budget of more than $232,000,000 and more than 40,000 students throughout the county it is extremely important that the citizens everywhere in the county know what this Board does and who the candidates are for this little known, but hugely important body.
A Red X on Common Core and the Role of School Boards in Correcting It
The recent incident in Rialto schools merits a huge X for huge error. School Board members have an important responsibility in correcting this mistake and in keeping the good aspects of Common Core from going astray.
