About the Book

School Boards & American Democracy

This book shines a spotlight on the last outposts of local control:  America’s school boards. In this book, the author points out that running for, and serving on, the school board could be the adventure of your lifetime … suggesting that school board service comes with an unparalleled psychic side benefit:  satisfaction from knowing that – if you do your job well – your impact will affect eternity.  At the end of your term, you could discover that your participation, though confined at the local level, will have effectively strengthened American democracy.
