ISBA LEGISLATIVE
SERVICES

The Indiana School Boards Association serves as the voice of school boards with the Indiana General Assembly. ISBA works to initiate and promote positive legislation that empowers school boards and supports all K-12 public education students. Learn more about our advocacy efforts below.
Advocacy
ISBA's Executive Director and General Counsel maintain a high profile at the Indiana State House as registered lobbyists to attend committee meetings, meet with lawmakers, work toward the passage of ISBA bills, and track other K-12 education legislation. Check out the Bill Tracking List for the most recent updates on pending education-related measures.

 

Legislative Communications
The Association keeps school board members informed about legislative issues via weekly email updates sent every Friday while the General Assembly is in session. ISBA also provides a weekly video of the top three things to know.

 

Grassroots Engagement
The ISBA has organized a grassroots legislative program to unite school boards in advocacy that positively shapes the outcome of education issues at the Statehouse. Speaking with one voice will dramatically increase our influence with the legislature. Advocacy training materials are provided  to help guide school board members and legislative liaisons as they engage on behalf on their local districts and the state.
