School Board Partners is proud to announce its fifth cohort. 65 elected school board members have been selected to participate in the competitive one-year fellowship for diverse elected school board members to support individual leadership and impact by building their capacity, knowledge, skills, and courage.

SBP pairs these emerging education leaders with trusted mentors who can provide them with the guidance, first-hand knowledge, and skill set needed to implement real change through anti-racist policies in their districts. Each of these elected school board members embodies the strong and courageous leadership traits required by these unprecedented and challenging times.
