In Buffalo, NYSUT is pushing to knock a number
of candidates for school board off the ballot, including businessman and 2010 gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino.
By one accounting, the California Charter Schools Association spent more than $ 12 million
on candidates for school board and other races in 2016 and 2017.
Three of four Stand -
backed candidates for school board, including a candidate we recruit to run in District 2, win election or re-election, maintaining the 6 - 1 majority in support of progress.
In other districts informal civic groups will organize a slate of «reform»
candidates for school board, and in at least one exurban Colorado school district, a bunch of people who were also leaders in the county Republican party where the school district was located put together a slate of unofficially Republican school board candidates to square off against a teacher's union slate of candidates.
In addition to opposition from at least one
candidate for School Board, the proposal brought state Senate candidate Tony Gross and his wife out to express opposition.
