Minneapolis school board flunks Governance 101

It’s a balance that an elected board must carefully strike in any organization: Members should understand how to be responsive to their constituents without micromanaging day-to-day operations. Good governance involves setting policy and working with top administrators to carry out those policies.

The Minneapolis school board recently really blew that basic Governance 101 principle. During an April 18 meeting, board members were confronted by more than 100 angry protesters — including some MPS staff — who alleged that some educators of color were let go because of racism and because they advocated for students. They pleaded with the board to reinstate those who were laid off.
