The Pennsylvania School Boards Association, founded in 1895, has a rich history as the first school boards association established in the United States. Not only do we represent the 4,500 school directors across the state in 500 school districts, we also are a valuable resource for intermediate units, career and technical schools, school solicitors, superintendents and other school administrators, legislators and governmental agencies. The mission of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association is to promote excellence in school board governance through leadership, service and advocacy for public education. We welcome all respectful engagement, comments, debates and opinions. Remarks that are defamatory, derogatory or threatening will be deleted.
