>Hi All;
>On the topic of business people running a school. Well, I work at Caravel

only

a
>Board of Education That is the whole People's family plus administrators
and
>parent advocates.
>They are wonderful people to work for and because of their ties to the

they

shopping
>list! WOW, Did I die and go to heaven?! They want all of teachers and the
>classrooms to by on the cutting edge of technology and they're very
>supportive of new ideas and change to curriculum that move forward. We just
>celebrated our 20th year. Many of the faculty members have been there 10-18
>years. The School offers Pre-k to 12th grade and we have about 1100
students.

>If it's done right, running a school like a business affords the students
