How To Run For School Board

In partnership with Great Lakes Political Academy LEAD Education Fund, Michigan Education Justice Coalition (MEJC) is offering an introductory training about running for school board. This training will help parents, educators, caregivers, advocates and other community members interested in running for their local school board get prepared to run for their district school board.

In this training we will discuss:

Who makes decisions in our schools?

An overview of our healthy and healing schools platform

The most pressing issues facing school districts today, including mental health, school safety, and ongoing equity challenges with school funding

We will also hear from currently serving school board representatives.
