SCHOOL BOARDS ARE HARD TO CONTACT
A Cincinnati Enquirer examination late last month of 63 public school websites in
Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky shows that 73 percent don't list direct phone numbers for
school board members; 40 percent don't offer direct e-mail addresses. And 33 percent of school systems
offer neither. Public school boards make decisions that affect thousands of families. They control the
spending of millions of tax dollars, reports Michael D. Clark. They decide sweeping policy issues -- be it
reassigning students among buildings, proposing tax increases or deciding whether to require drug tests to
participate in student activities. Yet in many cases, people who want to be heard on such important issues
get no help when it comes to using school district websites. And those who take the time to show up at a
board meeting often run into strict time limits of five minutes or less. "Those results are
surprising," says Ohio School Boards Association spokesman Scott Ebright of the newspaper's
findings. "In some districts it may be an oversight and in some it may be intentional.
