What is ISBA?
School board members, past and present, can take pride that the Indiana School Boards Association has stood the test of time to support and defend public education and the vital role it plays in American democratic society. Since ISBA's founding more than 70 years ago to today, we have provided school board members with exceptional professional learning opportunities, leading-edge resources, and advocacy necessary for excellence in school board governance. More information about the early history of the organization is available here.
ISBA is a non-profit organization governed by a Delegate Assembly and a 14-member Board of Directors (10 regional directors and four officers), all of whom are locally elected/appointed school board members.
The Association maintains a small eight-person staff consisting of the executive director, general counsel, senior counsel/director of policy services, director of board services, communications specialist/content strategist, events and promotions specialist, comptroller, and administrative assistant.
ISBA delivers legal services, board services, policy services, and legislative services to the 1,686 school board members across all 290 school corporations in the State of Indiana. These services include board retreats, training workshops, legal consultation, policy review, leadership development, superintendent search, conferences, advocacy, and publication of daily news clippings, a monthly e-newsletter, and a quarterly magazine. All ISBA staff members are available to assist school board members with specific issues at any time.
The Indiana School Boards Association is proud to be the preeminent resource for school governance and a respected advocate of public education.
