CASBAs-County Area School Board Associations-have been an integral part of the Michigan Association of School Boards for over 40 years, with 42 active local associations, the program is vital to MASB.

The purpose of CASBAs thus far has been to bring local districts together to provide:

• an opportunity for school board members to get support and information about issues.
• a forum for discussion of and advocacy for the promotion of these issues.
• a regional link between MASB and local school board members.

Many board members don't realize that to help finance in-service activities of the CASBAs, MASB returns annually three percent of all dues collected by MASB from the CASBA’s member districts. Payment shall be made after receiving each CASBA’s annual report and confirmation that the CASBA provided board member in-service.
