What You Can Do

  • Attend school board meetings to learn and to speak up when appropriate. (If you’re a resident in the district, you’re a constituent.)

  • Develop relationships with school board members and district superintendent.

  • Spread the word: talk to your friends, family, neighbors about K-12 education, share articles and action alerts.

  • Write letters to the editor or op-eds to local, state, and national newspapers.

  • Join a group that shares your concerns, or organize one. There’s strength in numbers!

  • Also, if you’re a parent, current or future, in the public school district: 

    • Develop relationships with your school administration

    • Ask about the status of Ethnic Studies in your school or district, as well as any “revamping” of social studies or English classes 

    • Talk to teachers and administrators to share your concerns, specifically or generally, and to parents to spread the word about these concerns

    • Join district and school curriculum committees

  • See our Toolkit for information, tips, and a guide to action.
