District-Wide Mock Election - Fall 2016
In the fall, we will be holding a district-wide mock election for the 2016 Presidential Election. We have created a mock electoral college of all of the campuses in the district which we will be sharing at our August 4th Social Studies Institute.
To help your students be prepared, we'd like to see a 2016 Electoral College Map Poster in every Social Studies classroom by September 1st!
And lucky for us, C-SPAN Classroom is giving them away free as long as you are a member. See the information below about the poster and how to sign up.
