The current STRS Board's cancerous attitude of feeling like the more they know the more they will become personally liable is exactly where the old board was 8 years ago. It became the mechanism for looking the other way when staff and fellow board members were doing whatever they wanted to do. It fueled the ultimate entitlement culture, and it caused the whole board and 735 employees to lose touch with the membership. Remember what the judge said to Sidaway: "You should have known better."
