I think Emily Alpert (Voice of San Diego) may have got one thing wrong in her January 10, 2008 post about the San Diego County Board of Education:
"Management consultant Robert Watkins, an Alpine resident, was re-elected as president of the San Diego County Board of Education yesterday. The board sets policy for the San Diego County Office of Education, which assists the 42 school districts in the county with payroll, legal services, certifying teaching credentials, and keeping up with state academic standards, and also operates the Juvenile Court and Community Schools..."
I think you'll find, Emily, that insurance companies and their lawyers set policy for legal services. Their representative, Diane Crosier, dictates legal policies to the board, not the other way around.
Executive Director of SDCOE-JPA Diane Crosier is the boss, not the school board or the superintendent.
Confession: I was thirty years older than Emily, and had been teaching full time in the classroom for decades, before I learned that the people at the top were airheads who took directions well. I'm a very slow learner, obviously.
