What is the Federal Relations Network?

The National School Boards Association’s Federal Relations Network (FRN) involves local school board members from every congressional district in the country who are committed to grassroots advocacy for public education. The FRN gives members an opportunity to make a difference in the education of our nation’s public school children. The ultimate goal of FRN advocacy is to make public education a top priority of the federal government. 

How does MABE participate in FRN?

MABE's FRN Committee meets throughout the year to discuss pending issues and coordinate meetings on Capitol Hill.

MABE's FRN Committee is comprised of board members appointed to represent the association in communicating NSBA and MABE positions to Maryland's federal delegation, including our two U.S. Senators and eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

In addition, MABE representatives attend the annual FRN conference in Washington DC, and participate in the "Day on the Hill" congressional office visits.

MABE encourages all boards of education to participate in FRN and engage in advocacy at the federal level to ensure that our federal officials are well informed on the priorities and perspectives of local school systems and the fiscal and policy issues arising under the myriad federal programs impacting public education.
