District accountability and participation

PDF page 5 recognizes dedicated, experienced board members while arguing that long tenure can impede change and recommending turnover. The question invites a balanced discussion of continuity, recruitment and renewal rather than endorsing term limits as an established legal requirement.

Why this matters

Board succession affects public participation, expertise and the ability to plan service improvements over time.
