In an era where parents are demanding to have more of a say in what their child is reading and being taught in public schools, the makeup of a school board is critical.
Among the Hamilton County Board of Education goals, after all, according to the district website, are these:
– Improve academic performance of all students through implementation of a system of high standards and accountability in all classrooms. (Emphasis ours.)
– Enhance and strengthen the programs that promote good citizenship, teach character education and value diversity.
– Develop a parent involvement program in every school (Emphasis ours.)
