The Alabama Association of School Boards is the collective voice of the more than 800 public school board members throughout the state. By providing the training and resource materials
to all the K-12 school boards in Alabama, we help local school boards govern effectively.

Each year, our annual convention brings board members and superintendents together to learn with and from each other. The annual trade show, held in conjunction with the convention, provides an excellent opportunity for the association’s professional sustaining members and other vendors to put their products and services in front of the state’s local education decision-makers in a relaxed, interactive environment. Alabama’s school boards are
meeting the educational needs of more than 743,000 students this year. With state appropriations totaling more than $6 billion dollars for public school expenditures and a $1 billion bond issue fueling massive school construction, school boards are seeking the best ways to maximize dollars in every area.
