Welcome to MASBA

(Mexican American School Board Members Association)

In 1970 a small group of courageous Mexican American School Board Members founded this organization to advocate for minority children during the transition of the civil right era to make sure that these children were not made pawns of (or taken advantage of) through legislation, governance, policy or regulation in order to comply with the desegregation of the nations Public School system.

Today, over 40 years later, we the members of MASBA stand together to help provide the leadership to an ever growing number of minority board members representing districts that are changing their demographic profile to reflect a larger and larger number of minority children, primarily Hispanic children.

These changes are often met with some resistance, a lacking of understanding of the culture of the home and parents, not to say anything about the lack of the English language. We at MASBA understand these changes and can assist your Board as a whole, or as individuals; to present, discuss, and promote change to help advance your district.

MASBA is an organization for all board members to come together and help each other understand the needs of the district to meet the needs of its students.  We are not afraid to discuss the hard issues, to educate others in legislative issues and to help develop policy for your district.
We are an accredited training organization, affiliated with TEA, and welcome a state wide membership.
