I Was Elected!... Now What?
Congratulations! You were elected to serve on your local school board. In this session, we will discuss what you should focus on in the eight short weeks until you take office. There is plenty you can do to get "up-to-speed" and ready to go on January 1, 2025!
You will soon receive ASBA's "Interested in Board Service" booklet in the mail. We hope this resource will be helpful to prospective board members as they navigate the election process, from signature gathering to what it means to serve on a school board.
As always, thank you for all you do for the students and school districts in your community!
