How to Sign Up for BuyBoard in Just Six Steps

1.  In order to sign up with  the BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative, your district needs to be in good standing with your state school boards association (click here for a map and contact info for all state associations). For all other eligible governmental entities this requirement does not apply.

2.  For K-12 public schools only, it is required that you provide either a signed resolution or a copy of the the minutes in which the board acted to join the Cooperative. Download the sample resolution  for your district to adopt.  While this specific resolution is not a requirement, your governing board needs to formally join the Cooperative.  Governmental entities are not required to submit a resolution. 

3.  Download the Interlocal Participation Agreement form.

4. Fax or email the completed Interlocal Participation Agreement form.  School districts must also provide either a signed resolution or a copy of the minutes of a board meeting in which the board acted to join the cooperative.  Fax to 703-548-5560 or email to lbaird@nsba.org.

5.  NSBA will verify your information and contact you if questions arise.
