Empowering School Boards. Informing Taxpayers. Serving Students School boards were created to give local communities real control over public education—not to serve special interests or operate behind closed doors. They exist to provide local oversight, ensure accountability to taxpayers, give parents a voice, and help schools meet the unique needs of their communities. At SBMA, we work to ensure school boards are doing the job they were created to do. We train board members to govern with confidence and equip taxpayers with the knowledge to hold them accountable because education should serve the people—not the system. |
