Robin BrownSchool Board Member, Prince George's County, MD
“School board is nonpartisan. I don't believe politics should be in school. Of the thousands of people I met, only three cared about party lines when it came to school board.”
Ana PazminoSchool Board Member, Jamesburg, NJ
“At the education board level, it's not a matter of political parties. It's a matter of a human right, which is education. People unite around that.”
Neerav ModiSchool Board Member, Jamesburg, NJ
“My particular story, if I had to put it down in a nutshell, is to just become more involved in this divisive political environment in an area which is not and should not be political, and to work for the kids, the students, the parents, the administrators and not give in to these other national distractions.”
