The main board could have a thread "stickied" to stay at the top with frequently asked information, such as the questions that have been asked on the Yahoo group 80 times since the beginning of the school year.
People would be directed to read the FAQ first, and then post futher questions on the board. The posts never disappear, so it's easy to go back and reference them again. And FAQs could be added as needed to the sticky post.
Since replies all go under the original post in a thread, it wouldn't be necessary to read a bunch of emails. It's all there on one page, with no refresh needed.
The other Ohio regions could be included as well, each having it's own sub-board. So there'd be one address for everyone, and all of the information in one place.
The kids' HS group could be included as well, making moderation much easier and more simple.
And the security options are wonderful. You can set it a few different ways. You can have it so that everyone can read the board, but only registered members can post, or so that only registered members can see it. This is great for privacy, and there is no spam that way (public boards sometimes get spam bots). Each sub board can have it's own privacy setting as well.
I would be willing to help set up the board and help people learn to use it. It is VERY easy though.
