School board elections, with their low turnout, are crucial because the decisions made by board members greatly impact the education and future of our community's students. Understanding the beliefs and support of each board member is essential for all of us. Ultimately, board members must prioritize equitable access to high-quality teachers and safe learning environments for all students, regardless of their background. This means providing the necessary tools and resources for learning and success, regardless of geographical location or life circumstances. Your participation in school board elections is vital as it allows your voice to influence local education decisions. 📢 Let's exercise our right to vote and make a difference on June 10! 🗓️
