In partnership with Great Lakes Political Academy (GLPA), Michigan Education Justice Coalition (MEJC) is offering a series of school board candidate trainings that will help parents, educators, caregivers, advocates and other community members interested in running for their local school board get prepared and ready to run for their local school board. This four-part training series will include:

o   an overview of our healthy and healing schools platform

o   tips on how to run a campaign (fundraising, voter outreach)

o   the most pressing issues facing school districts today, including mental health, school safety, and ongoing equity challenges with school funding

o   how to inclusively serve diverse student populations.

Please note that this series does not need to be completed sequentially.
