Trustees discuss newly formed county boards association and ask staff to invite representatives
Summary
Trustees reviewed a letter introducing the Association of California County Boards of Education (ACCBE), discussed CCBE/CSBA history and costs, and asked staff to contact ACCBE and CSBA to arrange presentations so the board can evaluate membership options.
Trustee Cohen Thompson summarized correspondence from Diana Lipskos introducing the Association of California County Boards of Education (ACCBE), a nonprofit formed in 2024 to represent county boards. Trustees debated the history — including the CCBE dissolution and Region 14 arrangements with CSBA — and raised questions about services, cost to join, whether membership would replace CSBA membership, and whether ACCBE conducts advocacy or lobbying.
Trustee Dean and others recommended inviting ACCBE representatives to present to the board and comparing services and costs with CSBA before any decision. The board president directed staff to contact ACCBE and CSBA for follow‑up presentations at separate future meetings if the organizations agree.
