The governance of schools is different in different parts of the country. In Broome County, NY, there were a number of central school districts, each with their own elected school board. In Fairfax County, VA there's one county elected school board.
I note from today's papers that several of the Republican candidates for President participated in an education forum, many (all?) of whom plugged for state and local control of education.
I'd challenge each of them to declare whether they voted in the last school board election, and who they voted for. I may be cynical but I suspect most people couldn't answer the question, which says something to me about the value of local control.
For the record, I can't answer my own question.
