All 15 seats on the State Board of Education are up for election this year. Many of these elections will be decided on May 29th, the Texas Primary Election day. Texas PTA believes these positions are so important that we have teamed with Belo, one of the nation's largest publicly-traded television stations, to educate citizens about candidates for SBOE. In some parts of the state, we will co-host educational forums for candidates. These forums will be aired over the next few weeks and will be available on both Texas PTA's and Belo's websites. In the Austin and Dallas areas, Belo will be airing an interview the week of April 23rd with Texas PTA President Karen Slay, who talks about the importance of the SBOE and encourages members of PTA to visit the PTA website for information on each candidate.
