Mayor Johnson and his CTU allies see the School Board elections as an opportunity to expand their power. Specifically, they are looking to pack the Board with their allies who will allow the CTU to effectively run the schools and negotiate with itself in any new labor contract. Most obviously, the increased property taxes that will arise from such an arrangement will be paid by us taxpayers.

‍

Further, strong schools are essential for strong neighborhoods, and the PAC believes a truly independent School Board that builds a centrist “common sense” agenda for our schools is essential to the health and stability of our city.

‍

Our friends at The Urban Center, an organization that promotes school choice and a School Board independent of the CTU, have drafted a slate of candidates who support moderate, common sense, fiscally responsible school policy.

‍

The NBOA PAC endorses this slate of candidates and urges you to support the endorsed candidate who is running in your district. More importantly, reach out to your neighbors, family, friends, work colleagues and urge them to support this slate as well.
