School Boards Matter

School Board Engagement

What’s one way to make a positive impact in your community a couple of hours a month?

Show up to school board meetings in your district. You can do it in person or virtually (if available). Speak up for parents and students, suggest future agenda items you aren’t hearing them discuss, tell a story about what you hear going on in schools, or bring new viewpoints or ideas to them.

Click on your SCHOOL BOARD/CHARTER SCHOOL LISTED HERE to find out when your local school board meets and what’s on the agenda.

If you plan to start attending, let Citizens for Delaware Schools know.

FOUR ISSUES DESERVING OF TOP PRIORITY:

Greater focus on improving student academic proficiency in English, math, and history/civics (founding principles)
Ensure schools embrace policies to create safe, positive learning environments for students and teachers
Stronger engagement and involvement of parents with their children and schools in their education.
A consistent approach to fiscal transparency to enable greater flexible education funding that follows the student.
