The School Board Project was founded by dedicated educators and campaign staffers who recognized the urgent need to counteract harmful policies infiltrating school districts across the nation. Co-founders Isabel Alter, Annika Cole, and Jarae Hines, united through their work on Senator Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 presidential campaign, envisioned a transformative approach to support school board candidates. By providing campaign assistance, resources, and personalized coaching, they mobilized a network of volunteer coaches, successfully pairing over 60 candidates with around 40 coaches in 2023.
