Council of Urban Boards of Education
WHO WE ARE
CUBE represents over 110 urban school districts in 35 states and the Virgin Islands. Our member districts educate nearly 8 million students, in over 12,000 schools, with a collective budget of approximately 99 billion dollars. CUBE helps urban school leaders find solutions to challenges at the local level and seeks to improve their policy making effectiveness. CUBE creates a forum for urban school board members to share innovative practices through issues seminars, conferences, legislative advocacy, research projects, professional networking opportunities, specialized publications, and local governance and policy assistance. The CUBE program is the urban component of the National Affiliate program at NSBA. You must be a member in good standing with your state school boards association to participate in CUBE.
