Voter turnout for school board elections is historically low, with tiny percentages deciding who governs schools. Columnist Jonathan E. Collins proposes a new federal holiday, School Board Election Day, to increase voter turnout and public involvement and interest in public schools. School board elections would be held on the same day nationally, and voters would be encouraged to visit schools not only to vote but to participate in forums and projects to benefit schools.
校董会选举的选民投票率历来很低，只有极少数人决定由谁管理学校。专栏作家乔纳森-柯林斯（Jonathan E. Collins）建议设立一个新的联邦假日--"校董会选举日"，以提高投票率和公众对公立学校的参与度和兴趣。全国将在同一天举行校董会选举，鼓励选民不仅到学校投票，而且参加有益于学校的论坛和项目。

Linda F. Nathan, Lydia Cochrane, Ayesha Hoda
School leaders Lydia Cochrane and Ayesha Hoda have struggled to meet the increasingly complex needs of the students in their schools. As students’ needs increase, schools are asked to do more and more, while continuing to have strong academic results. Cochrane and Hoda believe the current system is untenable and needs to change. With Linda Nathan, they share a possible model schedule that could allow schools to meet more of students’ needs and describe schools that have experimented with alternate structures.

Lisa Dover Kingsley, Jennifer Perry Cheatham
Not enough attention is paid to the instructional design decisions that define students’ experiences. Lisa Dover Kingsley and Jennifer Perry Cheatham contend that while quality teaching is crucial, the structural decisions supporting meaningful engagement often go unexamined. Using innovations in North Kansas City, Missouri, as a throughline, they review key themes present in research on four elements of instructional design. They urge leaders to reconsider outdated and unexamined design practices with an equitable approach, centering the voices of students typically left out of such decisions. They offer practical shifts and entry points for leaders to consider as they build a more inclusive and effective instructional design.
人们对决定学生体验的教学设计决策关注不够。丽莎-多佛-金斯利（Lisa Dover Kingsley）和詹妮弗-佩里-切萨姆（Jennifer Perry Cheatham）认为，虽然高质量的教学至关重要，但支持有意义的参与的结构性决策却往往没有得到研究。她们以密苏里州北堪萨斯城的创新为切入点，回顾了教学设计四个要素研究中的关键主题。他们敦促领导者以公平的方式重新考虑过时的、未经审视的设计实践，将通常被排除在此类决策之外的学生的声音放在中心位置。他们提出了切实可行的转变和切入点，供领导者在构建更具包容性和更有效的教学设计时参考。

While there are plenty of people who decry the parents’ right push, viewing it as manufactured and mean-spirited, Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane think it has been a healthy and overdue development. Yet while parents have rights, they also have a responsibility to send students to school ready to learn. Schools are ultimately reliant on parents being active partners in preparing their children to be responsible students and citizens. With clear communication and a willingness to listen, families and schools can form more productive partnerships to help students learn.
虽然有很多人抨击家长权利的推动，认为它是人为的、刻薄的，但弗雷德里克-赫斯（Frederick M. Hess）和迈克尔-麦克肖恩（Michael Q. McShane）认为，这是一种健康的、早该出现的发展。然而，家长在享有权利的同时，也有责任把学生送到学校，让他们做好学习的准备。学校最终有赖于家长成为积极的合作伙伴，帮助他们的孩子成为负责任的学生和公民。有了清晰的沟通和倾听的意愿，家庭和学校就能结成更有成效的伙伴关系，帮助学生学习。

Bo Yan, Thomas Aberli
The annual budgeting process is a valuable opportunity for districts to systematically examine both resource use and programming. They can then use the findings to optimize resource use and improve program efficacy in ways that will lead to increased student achievement. Bo Yan and Thomas Aberli discuss three root causes for districts’ inability to accomplish the goals (reliance on problem-driven needs as the dominant factor of budgetary decisions, disconnect between financial management and performance management, as well as human nature). They propose a cycle-based approach to district budgeting that rests on differentiating investment from operation expenditures.
年度预算编制过程是各学区系统检查资源使用和计划编制的宝贵机会。然后，他们可以利用检查结果来优化资源的使用，提高计划的效率，从而提高学生的成绩。Bo Yan 和 Thomas Aberli 讨论了学区无法实现目标的三个根本原因（依赖问题驱动的需求作为预算决策的主导因素、财务管理与绩效管理脱节以及人性）。他们提出了一种基于周期的地区预算编制方法，其基础是区分投资和运营支出。
