• Board members have an obligation to forcefully remind the Superintendent they set the policy, not staff.
• The Board should never be expected to vote on an issue when there are documents involved that have not been given to them at least 96 hours in advance.
• The superintendent should be given a directive to spend no more than the average for TUSD's peer group on administration.
• The superintendent should be given a directive to spend no less than the average percentage of the budget for its peer group in the classroom.
• Failure to do this should be cause for firing including any administrator who violates Board policy.
