California School Boards Association | Diversity Employer
CSBA is the nonprofit education association representing the elected officials who govern public school districts and county offices of education. With a membership of nearly 1,000 educational agencies statewide, CSBA brings together school governing boards, and administrators from districts and county offices of education to advocate for effective policies that advance the education and well-being of the state’s more than 6 million school-age children. A membership-driven association, CSBA provides policy resources and training to members, and represents the statewide interests of public education through legal, political legislative, community and media advocacy.
CSBA is the only statewide education association providing governance team leaders with in-depth advocacy and policy analysis. Serving as a unified voice for school districts and county offices of education, we foster effective relationships with the Legislature, the governor’s office, constitutional officers, Congress, the White House, administrative agencies and educational organizations to bring you the latest news and facts so that you can render effective local policy decisions.
CSBA provides educational opportunities for board members and superintendents on critical issues. Through local, regional and statewide workshops and conferences, we provide board members and superintendents with opportunities to enhance their governance skills, expand their knowledge, exchange ideas and discuss important issues.
CSBA works to educate the public and media about the role of the board and the fundamental nature of public education in California and the nation. We build support for public education by combating misinformation with data and produce nationally recognized publications to keep members apprised of educational policy issues and trends.
Finally, CSBA offers members fee-based services, including comprehensive policy services, financial programs, legal services, executive search services and more.
Mission, Vision, and Equity Statement
Vision
The California School Boards Association is the essential voice for public education. We inspire our members to be knowledgeable leaders, extraordinary governance practitioners and ardent advocates for all students.
Mission
CSBA strengthens and promotes school board governance. We define and drive the public education policy agenda through advocacy, training, and member services. Strong local boards of education are essential to ensure a high-quality education for every student in every community.
Equity Statement
CSBA recognizes that educational excellence requires a commitment to equity. California students bring a wide range of assets, abilities, backgrounds, and needs to their educational experience. Schools have an obligation to provide all students with the access and opportunities necessary for college, career, and life success. This requires school leaders to address practices, policies, and barriers that perpetuate inequities which lead to opportunity and achievement gaps. Effective school boards are equity-driven, making intentional governance decisions that combat institutional discrimination and bias (both explicit and implicit) and eliminate disparities in educational outcomes based on socioeconomic status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or family background.
