Another thing we did was get rid of elected school superintendents. Superintendents are now hired by an elected school board.
You had people running school districts that couldn't manage a Taco Bell graveyard shift but could win an election in these small towns. They were running school districts like employment agencies for their friends and families.

We looked at that, but I don't think it buys you anything. If you've got a 7 member school board 4 people now decide who the superintendent is and it's harder to get rid of a bad one. I don't think it's overtly worse than electing them, I just think it's a wash. There are positives and negatives to both ways.
Either way you have to elect good people or you'll have issues.
