ABSTRACT
Board Member Sounds fair, as long as student keep sharing all the facts and parents understand this information sooner, rather than later. Difference Makers do not run frantically from constituent to constituent with little shields, promising to save every community member every time they are about ready to step out in traffic. In a private meeting with students’ superintendent regarding community upheaval over the varsity basketball program and lead coach, this might be said: Board Member First, thanks for scheduling a board hearing on the situation with varsity basketball coach, in the wake of the parent group's call for his resignation. Instead, the trick is to encourage their superintendents to use their shields judiciously to leverage the more important policy outcomes that they wish to achieve, not simply to handle every bit of operational "incoming" that seems urgent at the time.
