Given the enormous challenges that face public schools today, the role of school boards is critical. It’s essential that local boards perform their job of governing schools in the most effective way possible.

Providing comprehensive continuing education opportunities for school board members has always been a major goal of the California School Boards Association. We offer high quality training programs and events that support school boards and administrators in their governance role.
