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.

I think you would make a superb school governor and would be invaluable to the institution in question. Be prepared to be frustrated by the madness of it all on occasion.

(Both my parents have served as governors of various schools and colleges and I was asked to serve as such for the local infants school a while ago but I did not as I was working away from home and could not commit the time.)
