What the public (apart from those who stay active in the inner workings of City policy like us masochists) thinks of the decisions of the MPS Board should be irrelevant in the minds of those serving in their capacity as a school board member. Leaders must accept their difficult task of facing scrutiny after doing what's right. It is part of the deal with the office, right? This also leads into my personal conviction on term-limits, but that is not Minneapolis-specific (I expect a pat on the back, Mr. Moderator, for tempering my idealogical comments rather than a scathing rebuke for straying from our precious charter *tongue firmly planted in cheek*).
I believe, personally, that were they to place class sizes on the block to offset some of the budget shortfalls, that the MPS Board ought not to be burned at the stake.
