CASB gold

The Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) is the member organization for boards of education in the state.

Since 1940, CASB has provided the structure through which school board members unite in efforts to promote the interests and welfare of Colorado school districts.

Today, CASB advocates the interests of boards of education to groups both within and outside the education community. CASB also provides information, services and training programs to support school board members as they govern their local school districts.

Some of the services provided by CASB include:
  • Legislative advocacy – CASB uses the power of association to lobby on behalf of school boards at the state and national levels based on direction provided by its members.
  • Legal services – Attorneys experienced in school law are available to provide legal information and counsel to member boards. CASB’s Legal Services Program offers attorneys available for traditional client relationships (i.e. fee based), competitively priced, who can provide legal advice on a wide range of issues, but particularly with respect to special education, discrimination, and student discipline issues. 
  • Policy services – CASB’s policy experts and attorneys provide continual policy updates based on new laws and regulations. Members may call for sample policies or policy counsel any time.
  • Member Relations – CASB facilitates discussions on topics of concern to individual boards or groups of boards within a region of the state. CASB also consults with individual school boards on communication, conflict and a number of other board issues.
  • Information – Members stay up to date on issues that affect public education through a number of CASB conferences, publications and the Web site, www.casb.org.
  • Custom services – Tailored to the specific needs of school districts: Superintendent Search, Strategic Planning, Policy Governance®, School Board Policy, Communicaitons Audit, and Community Engagement are examples.
  • Plus . . . CASB offers a variety of school board training opportunities each year through regional meetings, webinars, conferences, and an annual convention.
