SBMA is a non-partisan alliance dedicated to empowering school board members with resources, professional development, and a strong support network. We equip our members to navigate educational challenges, uphold governance excellence, and advocate for students and families, ensuring informed decisions that drive academic success. As the only association in Virginia exclusively dedicated to school board members, we provide the tools and support needed to lead with confidence and accountability.


What SBMA Stands For

  • Academic Excellence: Prioritizing rigorous instruction and high standards for all students.
  • Merit-Based Education: Rewarding hard work, achievement, and personal responsibility—not lowering standards for equity.
  • Parental Rights: Parents have the fundamental right to be involved in their child’s education.
  • Transparency & Accountability: Schools must serve students, parents, and taxpayers—not special interests.
  • Safe, Politics-Free Classrooms: Schools should educate, not indoctrinate—keeping ideology out of the classroom.
  • Local Control: Education decisions belong in the community, not with bureaucrats or national organizations.
  • Fair & Consistent Policies: School rules must be clear, enforceable, and free from political favoritism.
  • Strong Teachers: Support and retain high-quality educators without compromising standards.
  • Data-Driven Policies: Education decisions should be based on facts, not ideology.
