Virginia School Board Elections

Elections matter at both the state and local level. In fact, this year, school board elections matter more than ever. Make a plan to cast your ballot on Nov. 7.

School boards impact:

  • the books your students read
  • the curriculum taught in schools
  • and how safe schools are for all students.

Take the time to know where school board candidates stand on the issues you care about. Below are some important school board races in Virginia this November.
