Appointed school committee?
Posted by Jackie on November 13, 2007
Dick has an interesting post today, titled “An Appointed School Committee.” His title was meant to get our attention, which it does, but the focus of his post is more about Lowell’s appointed-mayor system of government and its impact on our schools rather than actually looking at not electing our school board. While reading it, I couldn’t help thinking about a letter Margaret had published in the Sun a few years ago that touches on the same issue. Even though some of the players have changed since then, the notion still surfaces in certain quarters and revisiting her thoughts on it is worth a read.
