I think the qualifications are fine. I think you definitely need to have elected board members from the community. We need to get control of our public schools back into the hands of the public.
I was surprised at how vastly different these ideas were from my ideas. I became aware that school boards are thwarted by the guidelines we are given. If you just follow the books, you might be doing a good job in the eyes of the writer, but not in the eyes of the voters who elected you.
