A Florida school board candidate who lost his race in a county south of Jacksonville will get a seat on the board anyway, after Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis tapped him to fill a vacancy.

Derek Barrs will take an open seat on the Flagler County School Board in northeast Florida, succeeding a member who resigned in September, allowing DeSantis to appoint a replacement rather than the seat going on the ballot for voters to decide.

    Groups within the school (however they want to organize themselves) could elect delegates (basically messengers) to reach decisions. That is how Europe developed its continental railway system (Kropotkin talks about it in Conquest of Bread). Its also a situation of let them figure out how they want to organize. I don’t think people not involved in the school should be deciding how a school is run. People should be free to organize themselves through voluntary association, not have decisions forced on them. Its about consent, and I can tell you right now, teachers typically do not like school boards.
