Mission

At School Board School, we are activating a diverse coalition of education advocates and aspiring school board members to create significant and sustainable change in their school system. We prepare them with the skills, mindsets, networks, and experiences needed to be ready to serve in roles impacting students throughout our community. And, we support them over the long-term, as they work together to reach their individual goals and in collective actions that drive change at schools, in districts, and throughout our region.

Programs

3 programs

Growing Our Network: We are the only organization that brings together both aspiring school board members and education advocates, and provides them with the knowledge and network to influence systems level change. We know our model works, and we are expanding across the country. Organizations can now license our intellectual property and receive our coaching, and launch School Board School coalitions in their communities. We are building a nationwide network of elected leaders and grassroots advocates working together to ensure every student succeeds.

Expenses: $52K

Public Programming:To reach more people in more places, we also provide free virtual sessions open to anyone anywhere. Thousands of people have registered for these sessions, and evaluations show growth in their knowledge and skills, as well as in the actions they take on behalf of students.We also host a free day-long event called Advocate for Education Day, a day of learning, building community, and taking action. Those evaluations also show that participants grow in their knowledge, network, and likelihood to take action on behalfof students.

Expenses: $2K

School Board Election Awareness Campaign:School board elections historically have low voter turnout. We set out to change that. As a nonprofit, we cannot discuss specific candidates. Our goal was to ensure voters knew about this election, why it was important to vote in it, and who was on the ballot. Our data partners analyzed our election data and found that our treatment precincts saw higher voter turnout and school board turnout, and lower down-ballot drop-off rates.
