Welcome to MASBA

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.
