Abstract

For more than 15 years, the Burbank Unified School District's Board of Education has been structuring their school board meetings so that the superintendent and school board members respond to parents, students, and teachers who show up to meetings and make public comments. However, it does mean that, for example, when one school in a system is exposing kids to toxic drinking water, a school board can produce a response to protect all students across schools. Is it time to abolish school boards?. [Extracted from the article]
