Republicans believe schools give them a winning issue in 2023. They blame Democrats for COVID learning loss, teacher dissatisfaction, high taxes and sacrificing safety and excellence in the pursuit of equity initiatives. They portray themselves as supporting parents, teachers and students even as they sow division and disrupt school board meetings. How do school board members operate in this environment? What skills are necessary to be an effective school board member and what strategies are needed to continue ensuring a strong public education system that is safe, welcoming and inclusive for all students? How do Democratic candidates take back the conversation and win in this environment? Join us to discuss all this and more at the next DAD Breakfast.
