Product Information
America's citizens want children to receive a high-quality education in clean, orderly and safe schools staffed with quality teachers, support staff and courageous educational leaders. In many communities, such a school experience is something the students will never have. Why? One or more members of the governing board desire to use their elected position for personal gain. They are Exploiters. Some desire to exploit a little. Others crave total domination of the school system and become the petty tyrants of education. Whether the exploitation is minimal or extreme, exploitative board members are highly detrimental to the effectiveness of the local school system. They destroy teamwork, morale, careers and many times entire school systems. They steal a high-quality education from children. The predominant governance structure of public education dictated by law is seriously flawed. What thousands of citizens and educators strongly desire for their schools can be discarded and replaced with the unscrupulous will of one individual. Exploitive school board members must be understood and stopped. The governance structure of public education must be changed.

Reviews
From my position, I see firsthand the devastation created by the bully on the governing board. In public education, we have identified the problem with student on student bullying, and are attempting to find solutions. Not so with members of the Board and other adults who engage in improper, abusive and destructive conduct. Kudos to Dr. Spencer for stripping off the veil of denial by exposing and offering solutions for this real threat to public education., Mark Twain once said, "In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards." Many have echoed this sentiment over the years, because so often these well-intentioned individuals make very big mistakes in their zeal to govern schools. Matt Spencer knows first hand that many honorable people become school board members, but more often than not, the perceived power of the position results in their governing their self-interest and not the interest of the children whose interests they were selected to serve. Most people will never know this in their lifetime. Matt Spencer boldly and gratefully goes where few have tread, save for Twain., Dr. Spencere(tm)s book shines a spotlight on a serious threat to quality education and effective leadership and management of public schools today; exploitive school board members. While most school board members are good public servants with a commitment to quality schools and quality education, exploitive board members undermine the leadership and management of school superintendents and are a threat to the quality of Americae(tm)s schools. This book clearly outlines the problem, discusses the impact on schools, children and community and presents ideas to help solve the problem. This is a must read for school administrators, school board members, parents and citizens interested in quality governance and quality education., Dr. Spencer's book shines a spotlight on a serious threat to quality education and effective leadership and management of public schools today; exploitive school board members. While most school board members are good public servants with a commitment to quality schools and quality education, exploitive board members undermine the leadership and management of school superintendents and are a threat to the quality of America's schools. This book clearly outlines the problem, discusses the impact on schools, children and community and presents ideas to help solve the problem. This is a must read for school administrators, school board members, parents and citizens interested in quality governance and quality education., The idea of public education governed by locally-elected boards is a good one, but the outcome in too many cases is just what Dr. Spencer's title suggests -- a field of opportunistic and power-driven politicos who exploit our children. To fix this as Spencer suggests, we must see America's children as "our children," to step up on their behalf in the same way we would if they were our own blood. Because children, especially those entrusted to our public education system, represent the life blood of our social and economic future. As citizens, we need to heed Dr. Spencer's call to action. Yes, be enraged by what you learn. But then become engaged as an effective part of the solution., America's 14,000 odd school boards rarely police their own ranks; nor do they as a rule get more than superficial scrutiny from the press or the public. The results are predictable, as Matt Spencer details in Exploiting Children: School Board Members Who Cross The Line. This is a must-read for anyone who still thinks that school boards represent the best of American democracy. In this passionate book, Spencer reminds us that when officials say they are in it for the children, it's time to watch your wallet. Too many school boards combine the non-transparency of bureaucracy with the demagoguery of democracy---the worst of both worlds.
