MSBA Legislative Program

MSBA is the lobbying wing of Mississippi school boards at the State and Federal levels and assists school districts with their grassroots lobbying efforts at the local level.

 MSBA WILL
Work with legislators in an attempt to accomplish the above mission,  Recommend to its membership that its legislative program center on  four primary issues as identified through a survey of its membership, and Implement a legislative network concentrating on linking local school board members with their legislators in an effort to share the needs of the local school district(s) and to increase awareness of how legislation could impact the district(s).
