Your voice belongs in the room.
Every decision made in Denver has a ripple effect in your district. In your classrooms. For your budgets. And in the lives of your students. School board members are among the most trusted voices in Colorado education. CASB makes sure those voices are heard.
We lobby on your behalf. We track the bills that matter. We get you in the room with legislators. And when the moment calls for collective action, we make sure Colorado's school boards show up together.
WHAT WE DO ON YOUR BEHALF
CASB's advocacy team monitors every bill that could affect your district. We build relationships with legislators year-round (not just during session). And when we need members to show up and speak up, we make it easy to do exactly that.
Lobbying at the Capitol
Our team lobbies the Colorado General Assembly based on the resolutions adopted at the CASB Delegate Assembly and the priorities set by our Board of Directors. When a bill affects your district, we're in the room making sure lawmakers hear from school boards.
Days at the Capitol
Every February, CASB brings members to Denver for Days at the Capitol for a chance to meet face-to-face with your legislators, share what's happening in your district, and make your voice impossible to ignore. You don't need to be a policy expert. You just need to show up.
Bill Tracking
We track every education bill introduced each session. Summarizing what it does, what it means for local boards, and where CASB stands on it. You don't need to read every bill. We do that for you and surface what matters.
Monitor BillsCollective Voice
When CASB calls for collective action — contacting a legislator, attending a hearing, signing a position — 178 school districts speaking with one voice is a lot more powerful than 178 individual letters. Your participation amplifies every other member's voice.

Legislative Resolutions and Advocacy CommitteeThe CASB Legislative Resolutions and Advocacy Committee (LRAC) is made up of CASB members from across the state. LRAC members bring important context from their local communities to the advocacy efforts of CASB. LRAC members help to draft the CASB Legislative Priorities and Platform that is voted upon at the CASB Delegate Assembly. The committee meets on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month from January to May while the Colorado Legislature is in session. LRAC meetings are open to any CASB member. If you are interested in serving on the Legislative Resolutions and Advocacy Committee or learning more about it, contact Matt Cook, CASB director of public policy & advocacy. Below you will find the list of current members and legislative platform and priorities for the year.
