Our Story

Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) offers support to Alberta’s 61 locally-elected public, catholic and francophone school boards. As a province-wide association, ASBA brings the different voices of Alberta’s school boards together and advocates on behalf of its membership. ASBA builds the capacity of school boards and individual trustees, ranging from advice and training to leadership, professional development, governance and advocacy. Collectively, ASBA administers a balanced viewpoint to government and other stakeholders and speaks on behalf of all its school board members. The result is unparalleled diversity and choice for Alberta families.

It’s something we’ve been doing for over 115 years.

Strategic Plan

In response to member feedback, ASBA provided increased member input into the strategic planning process. This increased member input was an integral piece in developing and finalizing the 2020-2023 Strategic Plan, which took effect September 1, 2020. This includes four priorities:
1. To empower school boards to govern in support of the diverse educational needs of all students
  • Customizable services are accessible to all school boards to adapt to their local needs
  • Quality services are developed
2. To promote the value and credibility of member boards and the ASBA
  • Increased awareness and profile of locally elected Boards and the Association
3) To have influence in all decisions related to education in Alberta
  • Locally elected school boards and ASBA will be the identified leaders on all educational matters
  • Strong relationships are maintained with all stakeholders
4) To operate in a fiscally sound manner
  • Culture of transparency is promoted
  • Financial information will continue to be made available to members
