Membership

Membership in the Missouri School Boards’ Association benefits local boards of education and school districts in a variety of ways. By working together through MSBA, school boards have a major impact on education policy at the state and national levels. MSBA is a delegate-driven organization. The Delegate Assembly determines the positions MSBA takes on education issues. Members have access to legal and policy assistance, board training opportunities, the superintendent search service, major events such as the Annual Conference in cooperation with the Missouri Association of School Administrators, and numerous cost-saving and revenue-enhancing programs.
