Today?s N&O op-ed by Lane Tracy, a retired Ohio University Management professor, is an excellent example of political ignorance.
I know management gurus live and die by policy manuals, but in a democracy an elected school board has the power to change policy.
Mr. Tracy?s academic myopia prevents him from seeing that unelected school officials are duty bound to follow current board policy not an outdated policy manual.
In fact, it is the responsibility of school district bureaucrats to rewrite the policy manual so that it conforms to current school board policy.
