The South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA), a non-profit organization, serves as a source of information and as a statewide voice for boards governing the 85 public school districts.

The SCSBA office is located at 1027 Barnwell St. near the University of South Carolina campus.

At the annual Delegate Assembly, representatives from each school district meet to elect officers, adopt resolutions to guide the association, act on constitutional changes and conduct other business.

SCSBA, as a member of the National School Boards Association, supports the four major roles envisioned for all of the nation's 15,000 school boards: vision, basic structure, accountability and advocacy.

Services include a year-round training program known as the Boardmanship Institute, legislative advocacy, publications, policy services, superintendent searches and a variety of on-site customized services for school boards.

Some 636 school board members serve as trustees for school districts in the state.
