Being a school governor

[westernind]

Are any of you school governors? I've been asked to be a governor of a local special needs school. Apparently business knowledge and common sense are valuable, despite the fact I don't have kids.

Advice welcome.

The thing I'm most concerned about is expansion of time commitment. From your perspective, how much time did you think it took up?
