Class, we are so excited to share that our friend Hallie Newman Schmeling is running for School Board! Teacher Hallie- as we call her around here- and Teacher Joanna are Educators Amplified, a podcast dedicated to raising up the voices of educators. Hallie joins us today to discuss why she chose to run for School Board in the Menomonee Falls district. She sees and hears the needs of teachers, students, and families in her district. With her background as a classroom educator, we know she will truly amplify the educators. Today, she discusses what School Boards actually do and how their decisions shape education in their districts. Hallie's running to make a positive difference in her community. Learn more and check out her campaign on her official webpage or on Facebook.

If you're in Hallie's district, you can vote for her from now until Tuesday April 1st. For all of us here in Wisconsin, the April 1st election will feature choices for Supreme Court Justice and Superintendent of Public Instruction. Check your voter registration and everything on your ballot here. Then make a plan and VOTE by April 1st to amplify your choice!
