Updated WASB resolutions book is now posted online

The Resolutions Adopted by Delegate Assemblies book, containing the collected policy positions adopted by WASB Delegate Assemblies over many years, has been updated to reflect resolutions adopted in January 2022.  It is now posted online.  You can find it here.

Resolutions adopted by the annual WASB Delegate Assemblies set the policy direction for the WASB and its lobbying efforts. Once adopted, those resolutions remain in force unless amended or repealed.  We encourage WASB member boards to review the resolutions carefully.
The WASB resolution process is meant to be member-driven.  Each member board has an opportunity to put its imprint on the WASB’s policies. The process begins when member boards submit resolutions proposing new language or changing or repealing existing resolution language.  Those board resolutions must be submitted to the WASB by Sept. 15.  

The resolutions are then reviewed by the WASB Policy and Resolutions Committee, comprised of roughly 25 school board members from across the state representing each WASB region and each type of school district (i.e., common, K-8, union high school, unified, first class city).The committee evaluates the resolutions and determines which resolutions will advance to the next Delegate Assembly.

The Delegate Assembly is comprised of one representative from each member school board and each CESA board of control as well as each of the WASB regional directors. It meets annually at the time of the State Education Convention in January.

Each summer, hard copies of the resolution book are mailed to all school board presidents and district administrators.  Board members selected by their boards to be delegates will receive their own copy of the resolution book in late fall along with their official Delegate Assembly packets.

A webpage and video describing the WASB Delegate Assembly and the Resolutions process is available here.
