Elections

Every year the JCEA Small Donor Committee, composed of members like you, meets to take positions on candidates and issues that affect public education.

Wondering what politics have to do with your students and classroom? Decisions about your salary, testing, school budgets, retirement benefits, and much more are made by our elected school board, state legislature, state board of education, and federal government. Moreover, ballot issues that have huge impacts on our students, like state tax rates, school funding, and local mill levy and bond issues, are regularly decided by voters. This is why it’s vital that educators talk to voters every election to let them know about the impact their vote has on our classrooms.
