POLICY & GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
ISBA has a mission to help support and improve policy decision making and implementation by Idaho school districts by providing the training and education necessary. ISBA provides a wide range of policy services to our members.

Maintaining school district policies as laws change is a legal requirement for trustees. The process can be cumbersome but with assistance from ISBA policy staff districts can be assured they have reliable, authoritative specialist to assist the board and provide essential information along the way.
