• A Family Policy Alliance Foundation Academy
Equipping school board members to protect children and defend parents' rights.
The first national school board training program delivered from a biblical worldview—equipping school board members to lead with conviction and clarity.
School board decisions shape the future of America.
From curriculum and classroom content to parental rights and student safety, the choices school boards make reach directly into the lives of children and families across America. These decisions shape what the next generation believes, learns, and becomes.
That is why pro-family school board members and candidates need real training—rooted in a biblical worldview and grounded in the issues they will actually face. The School Board Academy equips them to defend biblical values, protect children, and preserve parents' rights with confidence, clarity, and conviction.
"Very, very, very highly qualified presenters have been gathered for this academy! On behalf of the future of America, thank you! We win back our children, we save our nation."
— David Anderson, School Board Member, Washington

"The School Board Exchange website is going to be an awesome resource as I am onboarding. Sometimes you need quick resources and a limited amount of time. Much of the work has been condensed and organized which will save a lot of time!"
