Chaperone wants to re-democratize the Grand Island Board of Education.

We have endorsed candidates who, agnostic of political affiliation, are independent, free-thinking people who are confident in their beliefs. We hope that there will be times when even our candidates disagree with one another. We see that as a positive outcome.

Chaperone does not tell candidates what to say, how to vote, or issues to push.

Chaperone simply wants to see the betterment of our Grand Island Public School System, and furthermore, the community.
