Is mentoring such a good idea on the school board?

As per last night's meeting agenda,  a School Board Member Mentorship Program was discussed.  I thought Josephine Posti was going to mentor students on how to plagiarize and get away with it.  I was wrong.  Sitting Board Members are to "mentor" the newly elected SB members before they are sworn in.  Does School Board Disease come to mind?  Is this when School Board Elect Scott Goldman and Bill Cooper are told how to think? 

Symptoms of School Board Disease:
• Disrespect of public thought
• Listening only to those who agree with you
• Illegal executive sessions protected by lawsuits against moms
• Rejection of other board members’ viewpoints
• Groupthink
• Unity Voting – the most deadly symptom


Do we really need 9-0 votes? Does anyone else think this is a bad idea?  I know one resident spoke against this idea. I don't think, "It's a good thing."
