Districts should use resources efficiently to ensure sustainable spending that puts students first. Districts should be managed through structures that ensure a focus on student results rather than adult interests.

This organization also has a blog. I found this article, which is timely. A Call for Civilty A local shop owner closed their doors recently. This person spoke against the outrageous cost of the high school project, and was later harassed by members of special interest groups.

Another article, How to Reform School Boards had this to say:

School board members in America range from those with doctorates to those that have not even completed high school. Almost all come onto school boards (more than 90 percent of them through elections; the rest are appointed) with little or no preparation for the specific tasks that await them. Some outstanding people serve on school boards and some have no business on these boards, given their temperament and ignorance.
If more school boards were appointed, and consideration were given only to candidates who have been interviewed and vetted by panels of leading citizens who do not represent special interest groups, this could make for better boards. Moreover, the criteria for consideration might go beyond the basics—citizenship and residence.

Me thinks this is occuring in the Ward 3 Commissioner race. Sorry. Just my opinion.
