The Nebraska Association of School Boards is a private, nonprofit organization that serves the needs of Nebraska's public schools. Since 1918, NASB has been committed to serving school boards across the state. Our mission to enhance public education for the children of Nebraska is assembled upon the beliefs that: • Every public school board will govern effectively and with integrity. • Every public school board member will understand the importance, and emphasize increased student achievement. • Every public school board will practice good stewardship of resources. In support of the stated beliefs, NASB provides advocacy, consultation, board development, and training, as well as, district support-service programs for our members. The programs are managed by a professional staff, and governance oversight is carried out by a statewide Board of Directors consisting of 24 school board members elected by their peers.
