WASHINGTON, DC — The League of Women Voters is pleased to announce a new partnership with the School Superintendents Association (AASA) aimed at educating, equipping, and empowering student voters in 2025 and beyond.
This fall, local elections are happening across the country that will determine things like funding, policy, and curriculum for schools. While many school districts already partner with local LWV chapters to conduct nonpartisan civic programming with students and educators, this national partnership will provide new support to expand these collaborations nationwide.
“The League is thrilled to partner with AASA to expand our civic education programming in schools,” said Jeanette Senecal, chief of civic learning and impact at the League of Women Voters. “When school administrators and leaders believe in the value of civic education and engagement, students are equipped with the tools they need to take full advantage of their rights as adults.”
“School districts and state superintendent associations across the country work closely with their local chapters of League of Women Voters, making our new collaboration a natural extension of the important work already taking place to support and empower the next generation of voters,” said Noelle Ellerson Ng, Chief Advocacy & Governance Officer at AASA, The School Superintendents Association. “We know elections occur every year, and to the extent that elections happening in 2025 will impact issues like funding, policy and curriculum for schools, it was an easy decision to partner with LWV to connect emerging voters with civic engagement.”
The partnership includes a special page on VOTE411.org, the League's online election information resource: www.VOTE411.org/AASA. Learn more about the partnership here.
