With the district in a financial hole, having fewer people to oversee the budget could lead to even worse spending decisions.
Special interest groups or political factions looking to fill the power vacuum might gain influence over the district's direction.
Students and parents are the biggest losers here, as the lack of leadership could stall critical decisions about school funding and resources.
