Texas PTA has entered into a partnership with Belo-owned TV stations around the state to run 30 second TV ads SBOE 30 to educate voters about the candidates for the State Board of Education (SBOE). Voters can go to Belo websites to get information about the candidates and in most cities to see interviews the stations have conducted with the candidates for the SBOE or to the Texas PTA website, www.txpta.org.

Just as with legislative and congressional districts, SBOE districts must by redrawn after every decennial census and this election cycle, starting with the primary on May 29, is likely to see changes in the membership on the SBOE.
