Alief ISD School Board lets you practice with our tax money until you find the position you want

What was the purpose of running/rerunning for Alief ISD School Board elections, if the intent was not to remain on the board once they were elected/reelected? These two school board seats could have been filled by two people who wanted to fulfill their duties on the board and whom were committed to complete the work of the district, as opposed to using the Alief School Board as a springboard to their other political aspirations. In everyday life this would be equivalent to job hunting while at work, using your work computer, and doing job interviews whole on the clock.
