House Backs School Board Election Changes

Flying a little under the radar, a bill I was excited about passed the house today.  Details:

A bill that would make state school board elections more direct passed Monday in the House, after heavy debate.

HB150 would allow state school board candidates to run in regular, direct elections. Now, a governor-appointed committee recruits candidates, narrows the field to three for each seat and then forwards those names to the governor who selects two candidates to appear on the ballot for each seat.

“It’s not a true democratic process,” said bill sponsor Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay. “These kinds of nominating committees are more manipulative than they are democratic.” The bill follows a recent state school board election in which several incumbents’ names didn’t make it onto the ballot.

It’s not something many of us have reason to think about often, but for any concerned about the future of education in this state, this is a step forward.  Not only does this do away with the “appointment by committee” process conducted entirely inside the governor office with zero public input,  it also ads a layer of protection against temporal political agendas influencing long term make-up of school board membership.
