Though the school board is non-partisan, many of the members are politically or professionally connected to organized labor, the Republican party, the Democratic party, or the politically powerful Commerce National Insurance and its parent company Commerce Bancorp. On one occasion, Board President and Commerce National employee Pat Haines failed to recuse herself, and instead voted in favor of giving Commerce Bancorp a School Board contract.
