Article Summary –
School board elections, often overlooked, are crucial in shaping local education policies and district leadership. Pinal County has 58 school board seats available this November, affecting various districts. Voters, regardless of having school-aged children, are urged to participate by Nov. 5.
School board races usually attract less attention than major elections, yet they remain vital. School board members set district policies, appoint superintendents, and decide on extra curriculum like sex education, which isn’t mandatory in Arizona but requires school board approval.
Pinal County has 58 school board positions open this November; some are two-year terms, others four. Every voter in the district, whether or not they have children in school, can vote. Board decisions affect the community, so vote for candidates reflecting your values by Nov. 5.
