What are district ambassadors?

In a recent statewide training (State Bar of Texas School Law Retreat), school district attorneys were reminded to use "ambassadors" to deal with parents who have concerns or questions. Ambassadors are adults who act as cheerleaders for the district and bully and belittle parents who think for themselves. Ambassadors attack and defame free-thinking board members, as well as parents who question the district, allowing the district to keep a clean public image.
