Do you feel confused or uninformed when it comes to school board and why it matters? This is your episode. We’re going to break it all down so we can be magnificently informed voters and citizens (the election is Nov 4!). This episode lays the foundation so that we all know the basics of the Douglas County Board of Education.

**I said at one point that the DCSD budget is $90 million, it’s $900 million.**

The Douglas County Citizenry (a local conservative group) is hosting a candidate forum for all 8 candidates on Sept 16 at North Star Academy in Parker, 16700 Keystone Blvd, Parker CO. Doors at 6pm, forum starts at 6:30pm.

Thanks to Brad Geiger who patiently explained some BOE things to me. If I got anything wrong, it’s 100% me, not him.
