Coalition of School Board Members

Vision

We envision a future where school boards across New York State have the autonomy and knowledge to lead effectively, preserving local control and ensuring the values of each community are reflected in their schools.  Through collaboration and education, we will build a network of empowered trustees working in unity to shape the future of public education.


Mission

Our mission is to empower school board members by providing a forum to share experiences and best practices on governance, policy and oversight.  We equip trustees with the knowledge to fulfill their roles effectively.  Together, we advocate for local control and provide resources needed to navigate state regulations while ensuring every district reflects the values of its community.
