Mission and Vision:

• The mission of CSBA is to promote success for all students by defining and driving the public education agenda and strengthening school board governance at the district and county levels.
• CSBA envisions a state where the public schools are widely recognized as the foundation of a free and democratic society, where local citizen governing boards are fully vested with the means to advance the best interests of students and the public, and where the futures of all children are driven by their aspirations, not bounded by their circumstances.
