Man I hate school board meeting night.
Ugh. How late will I be here THIS time? What fascinating discussions will I witness? The color of the chairs we're ordering for classrooms? Whether to replace the carpet that's ripped up? Why one school got a new Tuff Shed and the other one didn't?

Or just maybe - a great discussion of instructional philosophy and direction? . . . Nah.

Jeez.

1. As a parent? For work?
I hit these for work in my little 'burg, and I can identify. It's budget time 'round here. Three hours on whether to lease or purchase a short bus. :boring:

2. Work.
Oh yes! The bus purchases! Should we standardize on International chassis or blahblah chassis? Does training come with the purchase?

At least they don't argue about the color of THOSE.

3. 90% of the time, I'm the only "public" there
...unless there's some hot-button topic, like changing the school mascot ("Demons? Demons? Think of the children!!"). :D

4. BREAK TIME!
Yes, the school mascot or colors or start/stop time - that'll have the room rockin'.

You know what we haven't ever had, though - is a book censoring. Not once in ten years.
