How to Reach the Editorial Team
Got a correction, a question, a press request, or a privacy inquiry? You’re in the right place. This page sets out the right channel for each kind of message and what to expect from us in response.
If you want to file a civil rights, IDEA, FERPA, or Title IX complaint, or if you have a concern about a specific student record, boardofeducations.org/ cannot help. We are an editorial guide — not a complaint resolution body. The fix is the official agency: OCR, your state Department of Education, your school district, or the U.S. Department of Education's Student Privacy Policy Office. See the routing table at the bottom of this page.

All inquiries go through one inbox: info@boardofeducations.org. The right subject line gets your message to the right person fastest.

- The page URL on boardofeducations.org/ you're referring to (if relevant)
- The state your question relates to, if it’s location-specific
- What you expected to find or what you think is wrong
- If possible, the link from the official agency’s site that supports the correction
- A contact email so we can reply (we don’t share your email — see our Privacy Policy)
Please don’t include FERPA-protected student information — names, IEP details, transcripts, disciplinary records — in messages to us. We don’t need it and we can’t act on it. If you’re trying to navigate a specific student-record matter, the school or district is the right office, not us.

How We Operate
boardofeducations.org/ is a digital-only publication. We don't have a physical office open to the public, do not accept walk-in visitors, and do not publish a postal address for general correspondence. Email is the way to reach us.
What We Won’t Engage With
- Abusive, threatening, or harassing messages — these are not acted on and may be reported to authorities
- Messages targeting specific school board members, educators, students, or parents for harassment
- Bulk SEO outreach, link-insertion requests, and “guest post” pitches that aren’t relevant to K-12 governance
- Requests to remove factual statements about a state agency or school district that are accurate and properly sourced
- FERPA-protected student information sent unsolicited
- Demands that we resolve complaints we have no authority to resolve — those go to OCR, the state DOE, or the school
- Generic marketing emails, sales pitches, and unsolicited proposals not specific to our work
- EdTech vendor pitches looking for “school authorization” pathways — we don’t operate as a school
