The Canadian School Boards Association (CSBA) consists of members from provincial school boards associations that represent just over 300 school boards, serving close to four million elementary and secondary school students across Canada. The CSBA advocates educational success for each and every student and promotes the value of locally elected school boards. We maximize our advocacy efforts through collaboration and information sharing among all educational partners across the country.
