Established in 1913, the Illinois Association of School Boards is a private, not-for-profit federation that unites local boards of education across Illinois. It operates independently of state government while supporting public school leaders with governance resources, including training programs, networking opportunities, policy information, and advocacy efforts. The organization serves virtually all Illinois public school districts, along with about 6,000 elected board members, and centers its work on strengthening local governance and ensuring citizen involvement in public education. Headquartered in Springfield, Illinois, IASB operates within the education administration field as a voluntary association that complements district leadership rather than state policy. It is also a federation member of the National School Boards Association, linking it to a broader network of school governance bodies. In 2025, the organization participated in the Triple I Conference in Chicago, reflecting ongoing engagement with Illinois school leaders.
