The former school board would have told you that competition improves schools, but the last 20 years of high stakes testing - your competition - proves otherwise. Schools will improve when all the parties involved work together as a community toward that goal.  That includes a school board that pays attention to the community, listens respectfully to all parties and works to bring the community together.  We see that with the Mitchell, Rupert and Harmon.  We experienced divisiveness from WNW.
