The annual September 15 deadline for submitting board resolutions to the WASB for consideration to become official policies or positions for the Association is fast approaching. Before a resolution can be submitted, it must be officially voted on and approved by your board.
Resolutions may be submitted using our Online Submission Form.
The WASB strives to be a member-driven organization. Our positions on policy issues are determined by resolutions adopted by the WASB Delegate Assembly, which meets annually at the time of the State Education Convention in January (see photo). The resolutions adopted by school board member delegates at the Delegate Assembly become official positions of the WASB, are published in our Resolution Book, and remain in force until amended or repealed.
Individual boards initiate this process by adopting board resolutions on various K-12 education-related topics and submitting them to the WASB by a September 15 deadline.
Once these resolution ideas are submitted, the WASB Policy and Resolutions Committee, comprised of about 25 school board members appointed each year from across the state and from within each of the 15 WASB Regions, reviews and evaluates them and determines which ones will advance to the Delegate Assembly.
To ensure this is a member-driven process, your participation and careful attention are important.
