Spotlight Districts



School Board Spotlight has identified school boards with records of putting politics above students’ needs, in the form of book bans, anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, “parental choice” rhetoric, and opposition to Critical Race Theory or other forms of racism. We evaluated news and social media coverage of school boards; public statements by their board members; affiliations with extremist organizations; and official board policy, minutes, and agendas.
