On the one hand, yes, but on the other hand, this isn't a thing that should have to be a board of ed policy. At least where I live, the school board is unpaid volunteers, and it's already an absolutely thankless job. People I know who use Facebook tell me that the group for moms of local school-age kids is an absolute swamp of rage and misinformation. And if you've ever been to a series of school-board meetings on the same topic, you've probably seen the one angry community member who shows up every time to accuse the school board of corruption, incompetence, and lying to the public.
