America’s citizens want children to receive a high-quality education in clean, orderly and safe schools staffed with quality teachers, support staff and courageous educational leaders. In many communities, such a school experience is something the students will never have. Why? One or more members of the governing board desire to use their elected position for personal gain. They are Exploiters. Some desire to exploit a little. Others crave total domination of the school system and become the petty tyrants of education. Whether the exploitation is minimal or extreme, exploitative board members are highly detrimental to the effectiveness of the local school system. They destroy teamwork, morale, careers and many times entire school systems. They steal a high-quality education from children. The predominant governance structure of public education dictated by law is seriously flawed. What thousands of citizens and educators strongly desire for their schools can be discarded and replaced with the unscrupulous will of one individual. Exploitive school board members must be understood and stopped. The governance structure of public education must be changed. Review: READ THE BOOK. It’s SOLID! - The flyer for this book was at a Fall, 2013 Bassett USD School board meeting. Jennifer Lenihan, beloved Bassett HS art teacher, had died by suicide just 2 months earlier. The family had filed a wrongful death lawsuit. And the author truly knew his stuff for he had worked in this district. Spencer is absolutely down to business.... if you care AT ALL about your school district, READ THIS. I finally actually read this when the president of my local school district described bullying by a fellow board member - at the board meeting. My antennas went up because bad boards = bullies = depression/potential suicides. Spencer NAILED the scenarioaccurately. ... If you are a teacher or parent or administrator or board member or aspiring any of those.... READ THE BOOK. Bring back our schools.
