The Wayne County Association of School Boards (WCASB)

About

The Wayne County Association of School Boards (WCASB) is organized to facilitate and improve the cooperative efforts of all the board members from the 32 school districts in Wayne County. This purpose is advanced by discussion of common problems, research activities resulting in advisory recommendations, coordination of legislative activities, and by the fostering of a greater civic and school consciousness among the school districts of Wayne County.
