I am seriously considering running for school board here in my local community in North Carolina because I do believe in public education that serves all the kids who deserve a second to none education. It is our future.
Frankly I really do not know much about how a school board is actually ran. I have a vision, but doing the actual job is something I lack knowledge in.
I would like to set up an exploratory committee or something to flesh out if it is for me or not. I'm looking for advice. I'm looking for someone who knows he ins/outs of being on a school board, or someone anyone who knows how it actually operates. How it operates per the county commission, and per any state mandates, regulations, laws ect.
Where do I start?
Any help would be nice.
My platform is no CRT, no outcome based results, no LGBTQIA2+P, no common core. I want to support teachers and parents. I want a good solid curriculum that actually produces results.
I love kids because I love my daughter who also attends public school.
Anyone wanna give some advice or pointers?
You don't need an exploratory committee. Just run.
Most people I encounter in public service are completely unqualified to do so and just get in based on relationships and recommendations. Fake it until you make it. Or just be super lazy and only listen to the guy above you on the totem pole- which is part of why we're in such a big mess in the first place.
