Our new website is live
Check out the newly formatted ASBA website. The goal of the redesign was to make it easier to find your way around the site and to make it easier to view. The biggest changes are: |
• |
Viewers can change the size of the print to make it bigger – or smaller – for easier reading |
• |
We’ve added breadcrumbs at the top of the page so you can find your way back to the starting point of any search |
• |
Viewers can sign up to receive the ASBA newsletter: Hot News |
• |
There are photos to illustrate the work of the ASBA |

ASBA’s office stays in same place
Our office lease will be up this coming April. After reviewing the options: buying space, leasing elsewhere or staying in the same location, the ASBA Board of Directors decided to renew our lease at 1200, 9925 -109 Street for another ten years. Our current location is a short walk from the legislature and the department of education’s offices; offers enough space, parking and storage and was the most cost-effective of the alternatives considered.
