Election Day is less than two months away—but one key race won’t be on most ballots.They’re school board elections, and that’s a big problem for families nationwide. In 37 states, school board elections aren’t held in conjunction with statewide or national elections.This strange system was deliberately created to give special interests an advantage, since voter turnout is much lower at other times of the year.That’s especially concerning at a time when parents are demanding greater control over their kids’ education. For the sake of democracy and accountability, states should move these critical elections to coincide with regular election days.
If you’re wondering when your school board elections are, chances are it’s when you least expect it.That’s why, in state after state, hardly anyone shows up to vote. Consider Missouri. According to new research from our organization, in recent school board elections for the 15 largest school districts, a mere 14 percent of voters showed up.That’s compared to 77 percent turnout in the 2020 general election.
It’s a similar story in neighboring Illinois, where 15 percent of voters turned out for school board elections, whereas 73 percent showed up to vote for president. A similar trend has played out from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to Idaho and Montana, among many others. Voters may not be mobilized, but others are.
When parents don’t turn out, they often end up with school board members who don’t reflect their values. Worse, the election winners are more likely to be special interests who don’t fight for students’ needs. There’s strong evidence that interest groups deliberately pushed for the current system.

Parents are chiming in and speaking out as one school district in Pennsylvania has announced it's canceling its annual Halloween parades for elementary students due to safety and "inclusivity" concerns. Dominique Izbicki, a resident of Montgomery County, told Fox News Digital she doesn't agree with the decision.

: It has been months since the public has heard from Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Brett Favre regarding his alleged involvement in the Mississippi welfare fraud case that state auditors say funneled money to a new volleyball wellness center at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). The state of Mississippi is currently suing 38 people or companies in an attempt to claw back $24 million of the $77 million in federal welfare money, according to a report by Mississippi Today. Favre, who helped in raising money for the USM facility, has denied knowing that a $5 million grant for the volleyball facility came from a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) welfare fund through the Mississippi Community Education Center (MCEC), a non-profit operated by Nancy New. According to documents obtained by Fox News, the $5 million was procured by MCEC via a Block Grant from the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) in October 2017.
