Ballotpedia News: Unlocking the Mysteries of School Board Politics – Edition #48

Today, Hall Pass brings you the latest news on school board politics and governance. A debate has been sparked after a six-year-old brought a gun to school in Newport News, Va., and shot a teacher, leading to discussion over the usefulness of school gun safety classes. Last year, the Arizona House passed a bill that would have required a gun safety course for children between grades 6-12, however, the bill died in the state Senate. Ballotpedia is covering all school board primary elections in Oklahoma on Feb. 14 and in Wisconsin on Feb. 21. Additionally, Ballotpedia is tracking six education-related ballot measures in five states that could appear on the ballot in 2024. These include a California Right to Education Amendment, a Florida Prayer in Schools Initiative, and a Nevada Remove Constitutional Status of Board of Regents Amendment.
