DSEA locals in six school districts recommended school board candidates for election on May 11, 2010
Recommended candidates win in five of the six districts!
Why do we recommend people for school board? Because these people make important decisions about every aspect of local school district operations, policy and, of course, must approve the contract you bargain with your school district.
