Good luck Doug. You're getting all kinds of good advice here. I can't offer anything in the way of winning the election but I can say one thing that this topic has made me think of. I think that members of a local school board should donate their time and effort for the school district and not be compensated for it.
Where I live the roofs leak in the schools, the English teacher needs an U.N. interpreter to be understood and some of the teachers are fighting a move to have them credentialed to be able to continue teaching. While all of this is going on eleven of the sixteen members of the local school board are going to a "convention" in Hawaii! I think that quite a few of the board members are in it only for the insurance, free meals at meetings and free junkets for conventions. If there were no financial benefits or perks, see how many would run for re-election.
If you really want to do something, promise the voters that you will not take any pay or compensation or perks. This'll show the public where your heart is!
