Next month, school board members from almost every district in the state will be gathering to represent their district at MASB’s Delegate Assembly. This year, the Delegate Assembly will be held on Thursday, Nov 9, 2023 at the Lansing Center.

This meeting establishes policy and rules for the Association through resolutions and bylaws. These are used to provide direction to MASB, its officers and committees throughout the year. The Delegate Assembly Handbook was emailed to all members on Oct 9 and is available on our website. The Handbook includes the proposed changes to resolutions and bylaws, as well as the process for the Delegate Assembly. The Handbook should be reviewed by each voting delegate and his/her board to determine how the delegate should vote.

The MASB Resolutions and Bylaws Committee has put forth three amendments to current resolutions and one update to the bylaws. Each will be voted on at the Delegate Assembly.

While the certified delegate(s) for a district (who should be finalized by Friday, Oct 27) are the only ones who vote, all attendees at the Delegate Assembly can join in the discussion about any of the proposed changes. If you are unsure of who your delegates are or whether or not they are certified, please contact Cheryl Huffman.

MASB’s resolutions and bylaws are driven by you and the boards you represent. This night is your chance to get involved in the direction of your Association. If you have questions about the Delegate Assembly or the Handbook as you review it, please do not hesitate to contact us.
