MSBA's New Regional Structure and Benefits

MSBA promotes the quality of public, elementary and secondary schools through services to its members, by increasing school board member impact at the state level and by maintaining relationships with educational and business organizations and governmental authorities.

MSBA is an advocate for boards of education and public schools throughout Missouri before the state legislature and in court cases relating to education. One of the fundamental responsibilities of MSBA is to provide a means for school boards throughout the state to speak with a unified voice on public education issues at the state level. MSBA keeps members informed about legislative issues through Legislative Voice, which is published while the General Assembly is in session.

MSBA also provides educational opportunities for individual board members, as well as entire boards, on critical issues. Continuing board development is essential to the ability to serve effectively as an education leader in the local community. Through local, regional, and statewide workshops and conferences, MSBA provides opportunities to enhance board member skills, expand their knowledge, exchange ideas and discuss important issues with other board members.

School Board Policies

A school district’s policies are its voice. As an advocate for School Board leadership, MSBA enhances the power of your school district’s voice through assistance in developing clear and sound written School Board policies.

MSBA’s policy materials are organized into a two-volume set:

• The first volume contains Board policies and regulations, that require adoption for legal compliance and accreditation standards. As the chief policymaking body of the district, the Board should regularly adopt updates to this volume.
• The second volume contains administrative procedures and administrative forms, that are intended to be routinely developed and monitored by the district’s administrators to implement Board policies. Even though this volume is to be used exclusively by the administration and, as such, does not require Board action, the procedures and forms must always be tailored for consistency with adopted policy.
