The purpose of the Missouri School Boards’ Association’s Advocacy Positions document is to state publicly MSBA’s positions on a variety of issues facing public education. This document clearly conveys to legislators, policymakers, the public and the media where MSBA stands on those issues.
The document guides MSBA’s advocacy efforts. Each position statement in this document has been approved by the MSBA Delegate Assembly, where every MSBA member board has the opportunity to be represented. The MSBA Delegate Assembly convened on Friday, November 3, 2023 in conjunction with the 2023 MSBA Annual Conference in Kansas City. Delegates approved amendments to two existing positions and five new positions. These positions are now part of MSBA’s Advocacy Positions.
