Days at the Capitol 2023
CASB Days at the Capitol events run through February and give school board members and students from across the state a chance to experience the legislative process firsthand.
What you'll experience:
- You'll observe the House and Senate from the floor
- You'll watch legislators in action at the education committee meetings
- You'll have the opportunity to build relationships with legislators by meeting them face-to-face, inviting them to lunch or a school board meeting, or speaking with them about your district’s successes, needs, or concerns.
Please join us in order to strengthen the voice of school boards by helping state lawmakers understand our legislative priorities and concerns.
There is no charge for attending, but Registration is Required.
