            Our mission is to find, support and elect great school board leaders.

            • DISD is making progress, but progress is not happening fast enough -- impeded by school board politics that favor adults not children.
            • Our 9 School Board Trustees have the important task of guiding and approving a $1.5 billion budget and representing approximately 100,000 citizens and 17,000 students in their districts.
            • Participation in local school board elections is down to less than 900 votes per district. That is less than .2% of voting age citizens and the average winning margin is 259 votes.

            How you can help:

            We give interested citizens three opportunities to get involved: 
            1. Make your voice heard by becoming a member (free).
            2. Help us inform and support by making a financial contribution.
            3. Initiate grassroots action by volunteering with like-minded neighbors.
