Great schools make great communities. Your vote in a local school council is a vote that can make a difference. We have put together a slate of dedicated progressives who are fierce advocates for public education and together bring a diverse skill set to school governance. In a time when school boards across the nation are under attack by extreme right wing candidates, you can ensure progressive leadership in your neighborhood.
