JACKSON, Miss. - The Mississippi School Boards Association is joining eight other states in breaking ties with the National School Board Association (NSBA) after the non-profit sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for federal support investigating harassment and threats of violence against school board members. Mississippi School Boards’ leadership wrote the letter explaining their decision that the National School Boards Association's “inflammatory language and request for federal agencies to intervene in our communities, was just one in a series of lapses in governance." The Mississippi board will end its relationship with the national non-profit, representing U.S. school boards, on June 30, 2022. Mississippi will then work with school boards associations in other states to form a new organization. School board associations in Ohio, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Illinois have similarly voted to distance themselves from the national organization.
