Education Law

Stand up and be counted

BoardBuzz thinks that there are few things more important than exercising your right to vote. And now we've caught wind of an upcoming event that allows some of our smallest citizens to be heard. The National Student/Parent Mock Election "seeks to turn the sense of powerlessness that keeps young Americans and their parents from going to the polls into a sense of the power of participation in our democracy," according to the Web site.

On October 30, students and parents will cast their vote! And you can too! Click here to learn how. BoardBuzz also thinks you should check out the video message from retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who supports the program.

So check it out and get involved! Let your voice be heard -- and while you're at it, cast your vote in the real election on November 4.
