Alexandria, Va. (March 21, 2013) – The National School Boards
Association (NSBA) praised today’s introduction of the Local School
Board Governance and Flexibility Act in the U.S. House of
Representatives that would protect local school district governance from
unnecessary and counter-productive federal intrusion from the U.S.
Department of Education.
“Local school boards and local educators play a vital role in educating
our nation’s schoolchildren which should not be eroded by unnecessary
federal regulations,” said C. Ed Massey, NSBA President and member of
Kentucky’s Boone County Board of Education. “The Local School Board
Governance and Flexibility Act would ensure that local school boards
have the ability to make decisions to create greater academic success
for all students, efficiency, and responsiveness to the desires of local
communities.”
