Why? In the past quarter-century, there has been only 1 Mpls
School Board member who has been elected to a higher office, as far as I
can remember. That is Len Biernat, who moved to the State Legislature
(where he's served on the Education committee).
And even if this was true, why would this be a problem? Out in
the real world, this is called "experience". Every consulting job I'm
interviewed for, the employer always asks what experience I have in similar
positions. When I report experience working on similar systems, they
always seem to like it. So why would it be something voters should be
"concerned about" in elective office?
