Endorsements
Dear Candidate,
Congrats on exploring a run for school board! And if you have decided to run, let’s get moving!
2024 is going to be the Year of the School Board (of course, #yearoftheschoolboard)!
Our Schools USA wants to generate the maximum level of parent and community member participation in its endorsement process. We want to lift up the voices of local parents and community members and work to elect candidates to school boards who share our values and vision for quality public education.
Our Schools USA will engage with its local chapters to seek out input and insight on candidates. Our chapters are on the ground engaging directly with the local public schools, their communities, and their local candidates.
Our Schools USA may engage pre-endorsement with select candidates when providing its training materials and training programs.
Endorsements will come directly from the national Our Schools USA organization.
Our Schools USA will speak with one cohesive voice, but our endorsement process is thorough, and will include extensive communication with the candidate and the consideration of many factors, including the candidates’ positions on issues pertaining to important topics in public education, the financing of public education, and a commitment to representing all parents and students.
Our Schools USA does not commit to resources beyond the endorsement. Any dedication or investment of resources will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the viability of the candidate and their ability to win.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email our team at team@ourschoolsusa.org.
