Alternative title: Look at meeeeee!

Can anyone more familiar with US politics fill me (us?) in on what the position on a school board involves?

Board members decide the otherall direction of a school district. Hire superintendents, approve budget / set spending priorities, approve curriculum / textbooks, decide school closures, stuff like that. The degree of power and responsibility really depends on the size of the district.

In this case the Passamaquoddy Indian Township Reservation only has like 700 people so it's a tiny tiny school district.
