New Zealand is facing a shortage of school board members, as only 60% of the 10,000 required spots have been filled. 

School Board Association President Meredith Kennett says that it’s up to community members to get involved. 

She told Heather duPlessis-Allan that, ‘it's important that communities continue to get engaged in their school.’ 

Although the numbers look sub-par now, Kennett says she is expecting a boost in numbers over the weekend.
