I think it's common sense that people who teach have important experience that should be at the table. I’m open to suggestions.

It's reflective of our society's failure to recognize the value of education. The assumption remains that we become teachers because we are incapable of doing or understanding anything else. On the contrary, we become teachers *because* we understand. The new boards created by recent Early Care and Education legislation require the inclusion of stakeholders, including teachers, as members. What can we do about this glaring failure at the ESE level? Wow. That’s unacceptable. It’s reflective of our society’s failure to recognize the value of education.

The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is the only licensing board in the state that does not mandate at least one member of the governed profession having a seat on the board. In fact, teachers are legally prohibited from being on the education board!
