San Diego Unified School District officials announced the district will pilot a “Boost Democracy” texting initiative for public participation during school board meetings.
The program, which starts Tuesday, July 13, will enable community members who plan to participate remotely in board meetings to sign up to receive texts alerting them when it’s time for their comments.
It is one of the first such initiatives in the nation, according to Shane Harris, president of the People’s Association of Justice Advocates, who pitched the idea. He also is urging the San Diego City Council, San Diego County Board of Supervisors and county Board of Education to adopt the feature.
