Thinking of running for school board? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Judith Cruz, Former Board President, Houston Independent School District. Judith has over twenty-five years of experience as an educator, non-profit leader, and volunteer in public schools.   Judith shares her path to school board leadership—and what it really takes to serve well. Know your why – Serving on a school board is a powerful way to create change, but it's not easy. It's unpaid, political, and full of competing priorities. Judith reminds us that while advancing student outcomes is essential, sometimes the most urgent fight is preventing students from falling further behind. Be ready to work across differences – Even among seemingly aligned colleagues, interpersonal dynamics and politics can derail progress. Judith shares how she built trust and found common ground—internally within the board and externally with the broader community. Don't compromise your values – The toughest moments came when Judith had to vote against the wishes of those who helped her get elected. Her advice: stay grounded in your values and make decisions based on what's best for all kids—not just the loudest voices. Go grassroots or go home – To win her campaign, Judith knocked on 3,500 doors in six months, seven days a week. Her message: people matter. Conversations matter. That's how trust—and leadership—is built. Do your homework – Before running, Judith suggests attending civic and board meetings, asking questions, and learning how the system really works. Because once you're in, the work is real—and it's relentless.   Thank you, Judith, for sharing your inspirational and powerful journey.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-111-run-for-your-school-board-with-judith-cruz

[00:32] When Speaking Up Becomes a Crime Kelly John Walker, founder of FreedomTalk and co-founder of Parents Demanding Justice, exposes the tragic story of a Texas father who took his life after being targeted by his local school board. He breaks down how parents across America are still being silenced, fined, and even jailed simply for speaking out. From DOJ memos to real-life court battles, this segment reveals the true cost of standing for your child.

[25:47] From Politics to Prophecy Pastor Weston Martinez, a conservative leader and potential candidate for Texas Attorney General, joins Shemane to expose the spiritual battle behind today's political chaos. As a former appointee under Governor Rick Perry, Weston explains why faith and politics must unite, how Christians can reclaim lost ground, and the danger of passive churches in demonic times.

Reece Smith is a Libertarian Candidate for School Board in Pennsylvania. Due to quirks with PA election law, he will be on the ballot as a Libertarian, Democrat, and Republican, therefore it is very likely he will win his race. He's running on a platform advocating the school board become more open and engage with the community - since the current board decides everything behind closed doors.

We are kicking off the second part of Season 5 with a bang and sharing one of the coolest programs we've had the pleasure of learning about: Cardinal Manufacturing. Led by our guests, Craig and Tyson, Cardinal Manufacturing is a high school class *and* a full-fledged business that allows students to not only do actual work but learn the skills involved in running a business, from how to walk through a door with confidence and give a good handshake to how to quote jobs, do the work, and submit invoices. Like…can you even?! It's the coolest program and we can't wait to share it with you. About Cardinal Manufacturing: Cardinal Manufacturing began in the Eleva-Strum School District during the 2007-2008 academic year when instructor, Craig Cegielski, approached the School Board about the potential of pursuing an in-school manufacturing business similar to one he started in his prior position in the school district of Antigo, WI. The school board approved and since that time Cardinal Manufacturing has gone from its infant stages to a company with significant annual sales and national notoriety. The growth of the program has attracted national and international attention and Cardinal Manufacturing has attended national tradeshows and hosted celebrity guests including Wisconsin's Governor, Scott Walker. Cardinal Manufacturing has served hundreds of customers from private individuals to clients throughout the state of Wisconsin and other parts of the country. A number of students have gone directly to skilled employment positions after high school, but most choose to go on to post-secondary education through technical college or the university system. Chippewa Valley Technical College and UW-Stout have taken a particular interest in the program. Cardinal Manufacturing has also built strong relationships with a number of private companies and professional organizations which have been supportive through donations, advice, publicity opportunities, and projects. In-school programs such as Cardinal Manufacturing serve as a grassroots economic development effort. Not only do these programs expose students to career opportunities in manufacturing and teach students soft skills for future employment, but they also work toward changing the attitudes of counselors and parents to be more open to the idea of encouraging students to look at manufacturing careers. Students get hands on opportunities to try out these roles before making an expensive decision in choosing a post-secondary program. In other words, kids get the chance to try welding, machining, construction, production management, accounting, office management, and marketing prior to committing to a major or area of study. The services provided through the program are worthwhile and valuable to the customers who pay for the service. Cardinal Manufacturing is a year-long two credit class which offers more than a standard classroom instruction. Students in this class gain the real life experiences of problem solving, running a business, and working in professional career roles. Students must apply to be part of this program and manufacturing employees have successfully completed both Metal Working I and II. The application process includes creating and submitting a resume, project portfolio, and a letter of recommendation. Once accepted, student participants are assigned a role that may include: Quoting jobs Ordering materials Manufacturing parts Quality control and inspections Shipping product Receiving product and materials Invoicing Customer service Accounting Marketing Maintaining work hours Besides the great experience gained, the students receive a profit sharing check at the end of the school year based upon number of hours worked and other measurement tools. Only a portion of Cardinal Manufacturing earnings are paid to students after expenses and upcoming needs are covered. Most of the money earned supports the purchase of materials, equipment and facility needs to continually grow and improve Cardinal Manufacturing. About Craig: Craig Cegielski, a native of Marshfield, WI, developed a passion for manufacturing early on through high school technical education classes and hands-on work at a local machine and fabrication shop. He earned his degree in Technology Education from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and began his teaching career at Antigo High School, where he launched the successful student-run business, Red Robin Machining. After a brief return to industry, Craig joined Eleva-Strum High School as a Technology Education teacher. In 2007, he founded Cardinal Manufacturing, a student-run business designed to give students real-world experience in the trades. With over 20 years of dedication to technical education, Craig continues to lead and expand Cardinal Manufacturing, helping prepare students for successful careers in manufacturing. About Tyson: Tyson Rohrscheib is a Technology Education teacher at Eleva-Strum High School, where he has taught since 2019. An Eleva-Strum alumnus, Tyson began his training in Machine Tool and Die at Chippewa Valley Technical College before earning his degree in Technology Education from the University of Wisconsin–Stout. He brings a strong background in machining and hands-on learning to his teaching, preparing students for real-world careers in manufacturing and engineering. Outside of the classroom, Tyson is active on his family farm, managing a herd of 40 beef cattle and working on metalworking projects in his home shop. In this episode, we cover: What Cardinal Manufacturing is and how it started How exposing kids at a young age is key to getting them interested in a career Why technical skills are the least important thing they teach How the local community supports Cardinal Manufacturing and the students Links + Resources Mentioned: Website: Cardinal ManufacturingVideo Gallery: Watch HereFacebook: @CardinalManufacturingInstagram: @cardinal_manufacturingYouTube: Cardinal Manufacturing Channel Sponsor Spotlight: Brodie Mueller and The Market on the Plaza In small towns, coffee is more than caffeine.
