The National School Boards Association (NSBA) is a not-for-profit federation of state associations of school boards across the United States, including the Ohio School Boards Association. NSBA’s mission is to foster excellence and equity in public education through school board leadership. As part of its mission, and in partnership with all of the state associations, NSBA offers the National Affiliate program, a 35-year-old project designed to provide local districts supplemental resources that will give them a national voice on advocacy and legal issues.
