What specifically can a board member do to ensure that the education equity gap is narrowed or closed for all students? Answer from William L. McGee: Create policies that address all children. Board members need to be well versed in issues that help students. Policy creation is the job of a board member, and being successful at that takes time and training. Knowing about education and how a site runs is important. 2. What is your long-term plan to assure that your jurisdiction has enough money to meet operating needs and service demands? Answer from William L. McGee: My plan is to work with the Superintendent to ensure that spending is aligned with our district's goals and priorities. If we do that, we will be sure to maintain the positive budget that the current Board worked hard to achieve.
