How to Bring This to Your Board

  1. Read the data brief and FAQ first. They cover the argument and the likely pushback in about ten minutes.
  2. Fill in the model resolution with your district's name, and route it to your superintendent or board president for agenda placement, per your district's normal process.
  3. Share the sources with any board member or staff who wants to verify the underlying data before a vote.
  4. Adapt the sample op-ed for your local paper if you want to build public awareness alongside the board item.
  5. Let us know once your board acts — reach out here. We're tracking interest as more districts consider this.
