Ask them to keep an eye on the schools within their own school 
district.  It's much easier to follow schools close to home than some 
random selection.  It was only when I began checking the schools in my 
district (39 elementary, 11 secondary) that I realized that they were 
being subjected to deletion vandalism.  Perhaps  there were AfDs, but 
one often doesn't find out about those until it's too late.
