MSBA ADVOCACY POSITIONS
MSBA's Advocacy Positions document publicly outlines MSBA's stance on key issues impacting public education. This document serves as a clear communication tool to legislators, policymakers, the public, and the media, reflecting MSBA's views and guiding its advocacy efforts.
Each position in the document is approved by the MSBA Delegate Assembly, representing all MSBA member boards. The statements are crafted to be both specific and flexible, enabling MSBA’s Advocacy Staff to interpret and apply them to relevant proposals. MSBA keeps its members informed about the progress of advocacy initiatives.
As Missouri’s largest organization of elected officials, MSBA collaborates with parents, students, educators, community groups, educational organizations, and state and local policymakers to prioritize public education in the state. MSBA is committed to supporting a public education system that is accountable to the communities served by school boards and prepares students to become productive citizens in a competitive, global society.
