Abstract
This article examines the negative consequences of political and administrative interference by school boards in core educational processes—curriculum design, teacher selection, and policy implementation. Drawing on recent empirical research and international case studies, it demonstrates that excessive board involvement in operational matters undermines teacher professionalism, disrupts instructional coherence, and ultimately diminishes student achievement. The analysis argues that boards should act as strategic policy organs, not as political agents, and concludes that depoliticizing school governance is essential to improving educational outcomes and student success.
Keywords: Education systems thrive when governance roles are clearly defined
