I would guess that you will have more than your fair share of "No good deed goes unpunished" before you're done. TWO: The school system that you are in will be very fortunate to have you among the ranks and files. There is always PLENTY of room for an accomplished professional manager in ANY school system on any school board. I have no idea about the Chicago burbs, but down here around "Atlanta Suburbia" where Republican Motherhood is the flavor of the month, the folks that could really help and make a difference are too busy with their own careers, and rightfully so. I don't blame them at all. My point is, it's rare that someone like yourself would give the time and effort to make a difference, and to do it "gratis." You deserve some major KUDOS which you have from me anyway! It's nice to know that there are people like you who care enough to make the much needed sacrifice in order to work toward a much needed difference.
