Description

Time to elect members of your local school Board of Education. Coach interviews Mark Werner who served for 18 years on the Mount Olive School Board (NJ). Mark shares insight on running for your local board of education, misconceptions of the power of the board, relations with the superintendent, principals, & teachers, creative funding for school programs especially the arts and humanities, tough decisions that need to be made, and the mind set new board members should have to make the student experience the best it can be.

More importantly, the interview becomes an observation of a man who personifies the quote from Ronald Reagan, "There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit." & the lasting impact that had for the Mount Olive school community.
