Hi, John!

When we think about education, we picture classrooms, teachers, and students. We rarely think about what happens behind the scenes — or who makes those decisions. But school boards can quietly shape nearly every aspect of a student’s school experience.

In 2025, voters across 37 states — including Texas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York — will weigh in on more than 22,000 school board races. That’s not just a number, those are people who will decide education policy for more than 100 million Americans.

These ballots don’t just shape policy — they shape futures.

This Teacher Appreciation Day is a moment to celebrate the individuals who inspire, challenge, and nurture our children every single day. And appreciation goes beyond thank-you notes and classroom treats. If we want to honor educators, we must also engage in the systems that support them and step up where it counts: the ballot box.

Because when we vote for school boards, we are voting on:

🍎 How much teachers are paid
🍎 What materials students have access to
🍎 The books on the shelves and the posters on the walls
🍎 The experience of Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, and immigrant students in our schools

John, these races may fly under the radar, but their impact is deeply felt, from curriculum standards to school safety policies, from teacher support to free expression. This year, don't just thank a teacher, use your voice to fight for a school board that supports their work. Take three minutes to check your voter registration today. >>> [[link removed]]
