School board members play a vital role in Alabama’s public schools, working tirelessly to ensure that students receive the best education possible. They help shape the future of our communities by making important decisions and ensuring that local citizens have a voice in the education system. AASB deeply appreciates the dedication of school board members and their commitment to advocating for Alabama’s public schoolchildren.

We’re excited to shine a spotlight not only on the incredible board members who help maintain and strengthen our schools but also on the school systems and initiatives making a difference across the state! Each month, we’ll feature a board member, a school system, or an outstanding program to highlight the people and efforts driving excellence in Alabama education.
