Standing together

About our Process

We wanted make sure the school board candidates we endorsed shared our values as Arizona parents, grandparents, teachers, and community members. This means ensuring the candidates we support are willing to put the hard work to make our dreams for our kids a reality. And above all, we wanted to make sure anyone we supported would be committed to listening to parents and community members. 

Our candidate endorsement process started with sending a survey to each of the school board candidates. We wanted to hear from the candidates in their own words about their plans for the children of Arizona. The survey was composed of questions from parents and community members. Then, the parents and community members on our endorsement committee came together to review those survey responses and choose the candidates we felt best represented the needs and values of Arizona schools and students.
