Abstract	Student involvement in the democratic process and understanding of the nature of public schools can be enhanced through the study of community school board elections. The materials in this instructional guide present basic information with related student learning activities to assist teachers in planning an election mini-unit. The unit may be handled as current affairs or related to social studies topics. Basic information and student activities cover the following topics: (1) "What is a community school district?" (2) "How does the community school board affect us?" (3) "Who can vote?" (4) "How does a voter register?" (5) "How does one become a candidate?" (6) "Where do people vote?" (7) "How does a person vote?" and (8) "How are votes counted in proportional representation?" Culminating activities include making posters, organizing a school essay contest, preparing bulletin boards and school booklets, and writing letters to newspapers. Outline maps of the New York School City Board districts by borough are attached. (SM)
