The Colorado Council of School Board Attorneys (CCSBA) is composed of attorneys representing the 178 school districts throughout Colorado. The Council strives to provide a statewide forum for the discussion of practical legal problems facing local school districts and to promote the exchange of legal information and analysis among school attorneys. CCSBA offers a variety of continuing education programs, networking opportunities, and legal resources.

Primary Objectives

  • Identify current legal problems of concern to those who advise school boards

  • Disseminate legal information and analysis to members

  • Promote the exchange of legal information and analysis among members

  • Provide a state forum for the consideration of practical and professional problems faced by school attorneys

  • Promote a closer and more understanding relationship between school attorneys and their client school board members and the Colorado Association of School Boards
