School Board Elections – Campaigns Launch

Keep an eye on the upcoming School Board Elections on the Nov 8 ballot. One World One Family is committed to seeing the efforts of the Diversity, Equity, Belonging and Inclusion Committee continued and supported by the Board of Education. We will be posting candidate responses and statements and reinforcing some of the critical issues in the campaigns. With a new Superintendent in place and the majority of the Board up for election, this is a critical time to pay attention!


Thank you for your time and attention. Stay engaged!
