CASB Advocacy

CASB’s advocacy team represents school boards at the state and federal levels by lobbying members of the Colorado General Assembly and U.S. Congress while staying abreast of key legislative issues that relate to education.

• Engaging members in advocacy efforts during CASB Days at the Capitol in February.
• Sending legislative updates and alerts on a regular basis during the legislative session.
• Providing a list of the education bills introduced each year by the legislature, including a summary of each piece of legislation and CASB’s position on the bill.
