Turnover is skyrocketing as new, often unprepared candidates face the brutal reality of partisan politics and the immense responsibility of managing budgets, staff, and curriculum. While generational shifts may play a role, the post-pandemic surge in political intensity seems to be the bigger culprit. With nearly 200 races featuring multiple contenders and 24 seats entirely vacant, the future of local education hangs in the balance—though experts like Kirk Schneidawind hope whoever steps up will take the job seriously, because serving on a school board isn’t just about showing up—it’s about showing up consistently, passionately, and with real commitment.
