In recent years, school boards have become increasingly prominent sites for debate, conflict, and sometimes even violence. Parents, advocates, and community members have argued bitterly about curriculum content, parental rights, public health measures, and school safety.

Watch the recording of a Thomas B. Fordham Institute and School Boards for Academic Excellence event (recorded October 14 at 3:00 p.m. ET) exploring findings from Fordham’s new study, Who’s on Board? School Boards and Political Representation in an Age of Conflict. After a brief summary of the report’s results, Fordham Institute President Michael J. Petrilli moderates a panel featuring school board leaders and researchers. The recording includes audience Q&A.
