School boards across North Dakota serve as the governing body for our school districts. School boards play large roles in student outcomes and have impactful influence over educator working conditions.
There is typically scarce information shared publicly regarding the views of those running in a school board election. Most eligible voters know very little about the candidates, resulting in low turnout at the polls.
In an effort to assist all of our locals and chapters in their efforts to get the word out to members and supporters of great public education, ND United has produced a member-exclusive School Board Election Handbook. This handbook is designed to help your local association get involved in school board elections. It provides an organized approach to help your Local understand the purpose and structure of school boards in North Dakota, set up a candidate screening and recommendation process, organize Get Out the Vote (GOTV) events, and develop a school board election plan.
You can find and download this School Board Election Handbook in the For Members section of our website. Since this resource is available only to members of ND United, you will need to log in. If you have not already signed up for access, register with your first and last name, member ID and an email address.
