Instead of forcing change, board should take its cues from parents, students, and teachers
Re âSchools can be forced to reopen: Vote gives commissioner power to change rules, require in-person classesâ (Page A1, March 6): It was interesting to analyze the recent vote of the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. Every Governor Baker-appointed board member voted to force districts to bring students back to classrooms full time. The three board members who are elected or selected by parents, students, or labor (including teachers) voted to keep these decisions at the local level.
