Time To Reduce Board Size

The Pitt County Board of Education has a 12-member board.
What follows is the members of each district and the seat they serve:
District 1: Seat A Michael Dixon and Seat B Ralph Love.
District 2: Seat A Billy Peaden and Seat B Mary Williams.
District 3: Seat A Marcy Romary and Seat B Jill Camnitz.
District 4: Seat A Roy Peaden and Seat B Barbara Owens.
District 5: Seat A Richard Tolmie and Seat B Jennifer Little.
District 6: Seat A Mary Grace Bright and Seat B Benjie Forrest.
The 12-member board is too large. The six-year terms are too long. This board should be reconstructed to mirror the Pitt County Commission in both geographic district terms and term of office.
The board is of its present size because of the merger of the Pitt County and Greenville City Schools systems. That merger occurred many years ago, and now is the time to effectuate positive change in this board. It is too large and cumbersome and deserves a reorganization that will make it leaner and more able to adjust to the current times.
Obviously the majority of those on this board are not making an effort to reorganize it. Thus, I would hope that when the 2010 elections get here it will become a serious topic of discussion for those who, not only choose to seek re-election but to those who will challenge incumbents.
