Run a Local School Board Candidate Survey!
Do you know where your school board candidates stand on arts education?
School board elections are among the most powerful local positions shaping our future. These boards make the budget decisions that determine how strong arts education is in your district schools.
Each fall, you have the chance to elect members who will advocate for the arts. But first, you need to know where candidates stand.
Arts Ed NJ is putting the power in your hands—we’re giving you tools to run your own local candidate survey, publicize the results, and share them statewide.
Make your voice heard and help strengthen arts education in your community!
Your school board and school budget influences arts education in your district. In 2025 we won't be offering the School Board candidate survey results in the same way...but see what 2024 candidates were talking about.
Use your cursor to hover over 'Yes' or 'No' answers to view additional comments provided by the candidates.
