Direct Elections for State School Board Members

This past election cycle demonstrated that it is time for a change in how the State School Board Members are nominated and elected. (You can read about this year's mess here). Two seemingly identical bills, one carried by Rep. Moss (D) and one by Rep. Menlove (R) seek direct nonpartisan elections of school board members. They repeal the entire nominating and recruiting committee and the involvement of the Governor. This year my site received literally thousands of hits when I posted information on the school board candidates, people want to know what is going on and are trying to become informed voters. Give us the benefit of the doubt, and let US participate in the entire school board election process.
