I can say that all the Schools I have been to in throughout the four corners in the US have been useless for my classmates and I. In conclusion they have done a poor job at helping.
We need a serious reform as we as adult heal from limiting beliefs and opinions that caused trauma and pain. That we learn coping skills to teach to our kids. That we are just as concerned with building our children's self worth and self esteem. That we are teaching new ways and techniques and we are fostering the mental and emotional needs and wellbeing of our kids. It must be integrated in and a high level of honesty and patience.
So she didn't answer the answer to the question, what do school boards do? After some deep dives into this question, I have concluded that they have no real purpose in the school system and primarily account for so much administrative bloat to the education budget.
Did she say graduate with the skills needed? B.S. No child left behind means that they let kids pass on to the next grade and graduate high school despite the fact that they are failing and should redo each school year. My son got nothing but D's and F's despite my efforts to get him to study. And he still graduated. But because of this he wasn't able to earn the credits needed for college. And so was unable to get the chance to further his education unless he pays for everything himself. Not something he can do.
