ABOUT OUR PROCESS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stand for Children is committed to endorsing school board candidates who are education champions and will be strong, independent voices that prioritize the needs of students. That\u2019s why our school board endorsement process began with a questionnaire to candidates to learn about where they stand on the issues that matter most to local students and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aligned school board candidates participated in an interview with our endorsement committee comprised of parents, students, and staff. After meeting with candidates, the committee came together to endorse candidates who are ready to put students at the center of district policy decisions.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
