School reformers maintain that teacher service on school councils contributes to improved school decision making. There is, however, little empirical evidence that teachers are attracted to serving on school councils. In this study, randomly selected teachers (N = 318) from a reform state rated validated job descriptions for school council vacancies. Teachers with greater numbers of dependent children and prior school council experience rated school council positions more negatively than did teachers with fewer dependent children and no experience on school councils. Regression analysis revealed number of dependent children and school council experience explained 6.8% of the variance in teacher rating of a school council position. Results have implications for teacher attraction to school councils.
