SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE TRAINING

Part 3 of a 5 Part Series

We are offering as a public service a series of workshops to help individuals learn about what it takes to run for office as a school board candidate.

This training uses video and discussion to provide important information for anyone considering running for office. 

Anyone can choose to run for office. These are not "required" workshops but knowledge is power and if someone is interested in running a successful school board race than this is where you can start.
