Option 1

 * Article title
 * Board of education


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a pretty good lead. It tells the definition and also a basic background on what a school board is. However, it would be useful to mention that this page is based off of US school boards in the lead. The content of this article is informative on the history of school boards. However, it does not address any of the current news surrounding American school boards at all. The tone of this is neutral. It only focuses on the history, so there are not any opinions in it.  This article only has 3 sources, so it would be more reliable with more information backing it up.  The article is divided into intuitive sections so that it is easy to follow. It is easy to read, and I didn't notice any errors.  There is one picture at the top of the article, and I think that if it become updated with current information, current photos would help.  The Talk Page of this article is mostly empty, with one comment about an improvement to the historical background and one about a syntactical error. It is a part of the WikiProject Schools, which is meant to write quality articles about schools in all areas of the world.
