As #SchoolBoardAppreciationWeek comes to a close, we want to celebrate the incredible people guiding our schools. 🎓 💬 Question for you: What’s one way a school board member has made a positive impact in your school or community?
Great schools start with student trust. According to the 2025 Walton Family Foundation–Gallup Student Report Card, U.S. K–12 students have a more positive outlook on their schools than in the past 2 years. This progress shows we’re heading in the right direction. #ChampioningStudentGrowth
