Board Members Oiier Gift oi Time and Energy, Pursue Excellence ROBERT G. FREEMAN, M.D. President Tlic pliilosophv iiiidcr which the Pasadena Citv Schools svstcni operates is in the hands of its fi e-nicnibcr Board of Kducation. These individuals ser e as trustees for the citizens who are in effect stockholders in the compelling business of educat- ing citizens and fostering the spirit of deniocracv. With the reconnnendation and assistance of the superintendent this board has the authoritv to establish general policies, to carry out these policies, and to specify the adniinistrati e rules and regula- tions necessary to implement the Board policies. Ser ing on the Board is a time-consuming seryicc. Members, like the students for whom they set policies, do extcnsiye homework in order to be ready to make intelligent decisions. This inyohes extensi c reading and analysis of reports and recom- mendations, together with conferences with com- munity groups, administrators, instructional con- sultants, and teachers. This sacrifice of time, con- cniencc, and often financial advantage by some of Pasadena ' s most capable ci ic leaders, is a gift frech ' gi en to the connnunit ' they scr e. JAMES N. STIVERS, JR.
