<human>: I work in a small nonprofit preschool with only six teachers and my director, in the middle of a major national park (so everyone in the community is a transplant). The first instance of this happening was in April, when my director hired the couple that worked under her in the state that she is from. Neither have any college degrees (although the girl is currently in school), and she hired them over someone with an early childhood degree solely because she knew them back east. My coworker and I discovered that she hired them at starting pay $2/hr more than ours after a year, and we have degrees and equal experience. I've hung out with the couple outside of work quite a few times, and I do enjoy their company and would consider them friends. However, the pay disparity, coupled with the (very obvious) best friend behavior with my director is getting ridiculous. My director disappears to their classrooms for hours just to socialize, and seems to share more info in regard to the preschool with them. They also hang out outside of work a lot and even go on camping trips, etc. I'm not sure if I have the right to approach our school's board over this or not. Is there an appropriate way to approach the board about this?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: My school's director is besties with a couple she nepotistically hired from back east. They get paid more and socialize on the clock. Am I justified in approaching the board?
