I Testified Before My State Board of Education

Teaching can sometimes feel like a lonely profession, with decisions that affect educators being made by individuals in high positions. However, it is important to remember that these decision-makers are public servants and accessible to the public. One educator, mom, and writer recently had the opportunity to testify in front of her State Board of Education, showcasing how anyone can engage in activism and make their voice heard in the education system.

The journey began when this individual, who had recently moved from Baltimore City to Central Texas, discovered that the state was considering implementing a K-5 reading curriculum infused with Bible stories. Concerned about the potential implications for the separation of church and state in public schools, she decided to take action. After attending a training webinar hosted by advocacy groups, she learned about ways to participate, including submitting public comments, writing to local SBOE members, and testifying in person.

Despite not receiving a response from her SBOE member initially, she remained determined and continued to engage in the process. By attending additional webinars for preparation and guidance, she eventually registered to testify before the State Board of Education. With the help of advocacy groups, she crafted her testimony, practiced her delivery, and navigated the official procedures on the day of the hearing.

During her testimony, she was unexpectedly asked questions by board members, highlighting the importance of being prepared for any scenario. Despite facing some bureaucratic challenges and feeling nervous at times, she successfully delivered her testimony and engaged in meaningful dialogue with the board members.

After the hearing, she had the opportunity to decompress, network with other advocates, and plan her next steps in activism. Reflecting on her experience, she emphasized the importance of working with advocacy groups and encouraged others to get involved in similar ways, whether through testifying, writing to board members, or participating in advocacy efforts.

For individuals interested in testifying before their State Board of Education, the process may vary by state, but generally involves researching meeting dates, guidelines for public testimony, and ways to sign up. Collaborating with advocacy groups can provide valuable support and guidance for first-time participants. Additionally, there are alternative ways to engage in advocacy, such as joining email lists, writing to board members, or having a volunteer read a prepared testimony on one’s behalf.

Overall, testifying before the State Board of Education can be a powerful and rewarding experience for educators and community members alike. By actively participating in the decision-making process, individuals can make a difference in shaping education policies and promoting their values in the public school system.
