Have a school board election this year? Your class can interview the candidates.

C70 is rapidly scheduling interviews between classrooms and candidates between now and the primary election on May 20th. This includes municipal offices, local judges, and the statewide Commonwealth and Superior Court races. But never before have we facilitated interviews with local school board candidates.

This is a unique opportunity to connect your district's decision makers with the people who are most directly impacted by their policies.

If you are interested in having your class interview some of your local school board candidates, please complete this form.

GCEA applications due soon

If your school is participating in the Governor's Civic Engagement Award, sponsored by the PA Departments of State and Education, note that their public deadline for submission is this Friday, May 2nd. However, they said last week that they will accept submissions through by May 9th. Contact Diane Gordian if you have any questions (dgordian@pa.gov).

The GCEA recognizes schools that have achieved exemplary benchmarks in voter registration. It also honors students who participate in a voter registration at their school and serve as a poll worker during the election.
