City of Concord
Civic Engagement Tools
Run for City Council or School Board
City Council members are democratically elected and act as the legislative branch and policy-making body of the city government. The Council looks to the city's goals, major projects and infrastructure improvements ranging from community growth to land use to finances and strategic planning.
School board members are the unsung heroes in communities throughout the country. They establish the vision and goals for the public schools in their district, and they set standards for the performance of schools and superintendents. School board members are elected by people in their community to represent their values, views, and desires for the public schools in their district. Board members are more than policy-makers and administrators; they are advocates for students and their parents and entrusted to engineer a better future.
