MSBA provides a variety of ways for school board members to stay informed on news that impacts public schools across Missouri.

Essential, breaking news is delivered via e-mail through Critical Issues Alerts & Reports to school board members who have enrolled in this service. Everything from changes in state and federal laws, to applicable court decisions are covered. Past topics have included Charter Schools, Parental Involvement, and the Individuals with Disabilities Act.

Each month, members receive Board Bulletin, a fact-filled update of news, training opportunities and other calendar items, and profiles of how districts across Missouri are using innovative solutions to serve their students.

When the news is more pressing, the MSBA Web site is the place to turn for breaking updates. The site also showcases upcoming events (and offers online registration), provides articles and other reference material, and offers school board members a confidential way to track their personal CBM credit totals.

During the legislative session, Legislative Voice provides a weekly review of activities in Jefferson City and what they mean to school boards and the districts they serve.
