For two years, Dayton School Board Member Jocelyn Rhynard has urged the board to implement a sexual harassment policy to protect members from inappropriate behavior by colleagues. Despite her efforts, the board and local media have ignored her calls. Rhynard’s testimony details disturbing incidents involving Board President Will Smith at a national conference, raising serious concerns about leadership ethics. With no policy in place and no mechanism to remove board members for misconduct, the lack of accountability leaves Dayton schools vulnerable to poor governance. Is this the leadership our schools deserve?

I always thought “slate cards” should be called “stupid voter cards”- where the parties tell you who to vote for.
