Carolinas Academic Leadership Network (CALN) exists to empower school board members in North Carolina and South Carolina with the training and tools they need to serve students and their districts free from the toxicity often found in today’s political climate.

CALN is a joint project between the South Carolina Policy Council (SCPC) and the Palmetto Promise Institute (PPI) of South Carolina and the John Locke Foundation (Locke) of North Carolina. All three are nonprofit public policy organizations dedicated to liberty and human flourishing.
