The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE)
is a non-profit association that represents state and
territorial boards of education. Our principal objectives
include strengthening state leadership in educational
policymaking; promoting excellence in the education of all
students; advocating equality of access to educational
opportunity; and assuring continued citizen support for
public education.
As the single organization representing state boards
nationwide, we seek to further our goals through the
provision of high-quality services in the following
areas:
- training and technical assistance to members and the
larger education community;
- sponsoring regional and national conferences on
critical policy issues;
- publishing resource and research materials tailored to
policymakers' needs; and
- communicating with the Congress, federal executive
agencies, business and industry, national associations,
and other state decisionmakers, including chief state
school officers, state legislators, and governors.
The association serves over 700 individuals, including
members of state boards, state board attorneys, and state
board executive secretaries. These members are responsible
for the educational interests of more than fifty million
students in public schools and more than three million
students in post-secondary institutions.
- Most boards also have authority over vocational
education and/or vocational rehabilitation, and in some
cases the state board of education is vested with
responsibility for postsecondary learning.
