Mississippi School Boards Association leaving national group
JACKSON, MISS. -- The Mississippi School Boards Association is joining a handful of other states in breaking ties with the National School Board Association after the nonprofit sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for federal support investigating harassment and threats of violence against school board members.
Mississippi School Boards’ leadership wrote this week in a letter explaining their decision that the National School Boards Association’s “inflammatory language and the request for federal agencies to intervene in our communities, was just one in a series of lapses in governance.”
“MSBA can no longer allow NSBA to speak for our association or our membership and can no longer see the value of continued membership,” the letter reads.
They said Mississippi will end its relationship with the National School Boards Association, a nonprofit representing U.S. school boards, on June 30, 2022, the end of the term for which the Mississippi School Boards Association has paid its dues to the national organization.
