Nov 29, 2022 06:33 AMApplicants can be from any District for this two year term. Please don’t complain about short notice. This vacancy has been public knowledge for months. It is hard work but totally worthwhile.

Nov 28, 2022 08:02 PMI hear you Alex, I don’t think too many of us have the time or energy to take that on. It would be cool if a retired teacher or other professional with some common sense was out there and was tex to step up. 2 weeks is a small window to apply, given zero notice too. Hard to get excited about the SB school district these days unfortunately.

Nov 29, 2022 08:06 AMI seriously considered it. I have worked with youth as a volunteer for about ten years now and I want to continue to give back but what I am not interested in is volunteering in a politicized environment. Sadly, there are so many wack jobs out there that school boards, teachers, administrators, etc., are being targeted and harassed on psycho political issues.
Who needs that?
I decided that I will keep on giving back in the way that I have for the last decade.

Nov 28, 2022 12:11 PMCan't wait to see the massive number of Edhat complainers who are going to apply for this volunteer position to try and improv our local schools.
Cue crickets.

Nov 28, 2022 04:09 PMYeah, that's why I was very impressed with our elementary school results - NOT a wealthy school by any means, somewhere between 65-75% of the students are in poverty. Whatever they have been doing (focusing on intensive reading intervention, and early) - it seems to be working.

Nov 28, 2022 12:27 PMSome of the wealthy districts saw that as parents had time to put effort and resources in to home schooling during the pandemic, whereas the poor folks were just struggling to survive.

Nov 28, 2022 12:15 PMI'm not in the right district. Interestingly, my kid's elementary school showed test score improvement from 2019 to 2022, vs overall learning loss.
