This spring, the BOD has ONE seat and the SAC has ONE seat up for parent-election. Election day will be held on Thursday, May 15, 2025. Every American Academy parent (KP-8) has one vote, and we hope you will use yours!

Below you'll find more information about the open seats, the election process for each group, and a link and instructions for applying for candidacy. We hope you will take the time to read about and consider applying for these important American Academy volunteer roles.
