A look into a school board member's mind . . .

I thought Monday night's lecture with two Decorah school board members was interesting to listen to. It was particularly great because they both had children who had gone through the district. I think that is very important in a school board member because they then have a greater connection to the school. 
It was interesting to hear, for the second time, that No Child Left Behind is not necessarily a bad thing. If the country's new administration abandoned it, for example, Decorah would still consider keeping it as part of their curriculum because it is a good base to see how well students are progressing.

I completely agree with you. I thought it was extremely helpful to hear from the school board members especially they have had experience with kids who have gone through the district. This definitely influences a person no matter what they are willing to confess.
