The Idea
A budding plan would add four new members to the school board. Unlike the five existing elected members, they would be appointed by an outside group.
Where It’s Coming From
The idea emerged from an informal group of philanthropists, business leaders, parents and others united by a desire for change in the school system.
What It Would Take
Voters would have to agree to expand the school board because its makeup is set out in the city charter.
