Legislative Services

Ƶ frequently advocates at the Ƶ Hampshire Legislature on behalf of its members. Every year, the Legislature considers numerous bills that have significant effects on school boards – from school board governance, to funding, to labor relations and to student matters.  It is vital that the voice of Ƶ Hampshire’s school boards be heard by state policy-makers.  

Ƶ’s policy positions are determined by our members at our annual Ƶ Delegate Assembly.  These Resolutions are adopted by Ƶ members and guide the positions Ƶ takes at the Legislature.  In addition to advocating on our member’s behalf at the Legislature, Ƶ provides its members with weekly Legislative Updates during each Legislative session and a year-end Legislative Summary.

While it is important for the Legislature to hear from Ƶ, it is equally important for the Legislature to hear directly from elected school boards as to how specific legislation will impact our school districts, communities and taxpayers.  From time to time, Ƶ designates certain legislation as an “Ƶ Action Item”.  On these specific items, Ƶ urges its members to contact their local representatives directly and help advance Ƶ’s efforts.
