NASBE Public Education Positions



According to NASBE bylaws, the association may take positions on education-related issues of concern at the state and national levels. The Public Education Positions Committee, with representation from each member state, reviews and develops these positions and the NASBE membership at large adopts them.

NASBE’s public education positions were last revised in 2019.
