When: Please reserve time during your May, June or July board meetings to discuss your board's priorities and designate one person to submit them via the IASB website. All submissions must be completed by August 11.
 
Why: The information gathered from school districts helps guide IASB legislative and grassroots advocacy efforts. It is especially helpful when speaking to legislative influencers when we can show them the data of what issues are particularly important to school districts in their area.
 
How: Review the 2016 IASB Legislative Resolutions and make note of any issues or edits that are of interest to your district. Select your top four legislative priorities and designate one person to submit them to IASB.
