All 15 seats of the State Board of Education are up for grabs in November, and one race...
Members of the public raise their hands in agreement with testimony that the the Texas State Board of Education delay considering to the state’s social studies curriculum during an Aug. 30, 2022, meeting in Austin. The delay means that the board members elected Tuesday will have a large influence over any potential changes.As political races go, candidates for the Texas State Board of Education are often overlooked, making their races a perennial wallflower in Texas politics.
“One thing that strikes me is that it mirrors what we’re seeing in local school board elections,” said Rebecca Deen, a political science professor at the University of Texas at Arlington.— the post-U.S. census exercise in which boundaries for State Board of Education districts, along with legislative and congressional districts, are redrawn every decade — all 15 seats on the education board are up for grabs.
Deen said that like local school board elections, state education board races are low turnout, so candidates try to focus on hot-button issues. And if there’s anything to help challengers stand out, it’s a new Texas law that went into effect last year and bars teachers from subjecting students to anything that makes them “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” based on their race or sex.
