ISBA Leg Rep Program

“Leg Reps,” or Legislative Representatives, are school board members designated to serve as their board’s point person for all things legislative, including keeping up with news, resources, and opportunities provided by ISBA. Learn more about the role of leg reps.

Leg Rep Network

The Legislative Representative Network is open to all designated school board legislative representatives, and exists to:

• Support Idaho school board members in becoming unified to advocate with common messaging and strategy;
• Enable our members to simplify and inspire their advocacy efforts; and
• Expand ISBA’s access to voices from districts and charter schools across the state in advocating for education issues.

Leg Rep Network virtual meetings are held regularly. The meetings are an opportunity for reps to learn more about how they can fulfill their role and for peers to share ideas and strategies that have worked for them. The meetings provide regular in-depth review of legislative conversations impacting public schools in Idaho. Participants leave these conversations with tools and resources to make them effective as leg reps and keep their local boards and communities informed.
