Wondering minds want to know…since 2020, why have 1.2 million students in the United States left public education? Homeschooling has more than doubled to over 5 million children! If you are curious, take a closer look at home and start with your public school board.
We all know the Public School Board of Education has been in the media. Most people only know what they see or hear on the news or social media, however, there is so much more to your school board. In our conversation with Erika, we covered a variety of topics in which we hope will give you some encouragement to learn more about your own public school board and how you can play a part for the future of your/our children.
We discuss some myths vs facts, how do you judge a successful school board, how you can get involved, and more challenging topics like the new comprehensive sexual education programs rolling into our schools.
Erika Sheets has become a friend of ours in the last few years. She is to us an expert as she has taken the time, going above and beyond, researching and building a foundation to help support our community. Erika, her husband and two teens have been Johnson County residents since 2010. She has been a Blue Valley parent for 13 years in six different buildings and has consistently served the district on various committees, PTO and more over that time.
Professionally, Erika has spent 30 years in revenue generation & leadership development and holds an MBA from Case Western Reserve University as well as a BA from the James Madison residential college at Michigan State University.
To learn about your own local school board, do a basic search of your school name + school board and the meeting times, locations and previous sessions should be available to you.
