The election is over and you know who is joining your board in January. Here is the thing about the next eight weeks: your new board members are going to learn how a school board works from somebody. If it is not you, it will be a Facebook group, a neighbor with a grudge, or the memory of how their church council does things. By the time they take the oath, they will have ideas and probably a bunch of questions.
