Should We or Shouldn’t We Serve?

Board-Savvy Superintendent

RECENTLY, AS I WAS OUT and about in the community, I bumped into the superintendent of our school system. As we engaged in a casual conversation, he asked if I might be interested in seeking a seat on the local school board. Hmmm. Is that a good idea? Not a good idea? Should former superintendents and retired superintendents serve on school boards?

The answer, I concluded: It depends!
