MASC advocates on behalf of Massachusetts school committees in all legislative and regulatory arenas, including at the state and federal levels. The issues that are followed by Association staff, the MASC Board of Directors, MASC’s Legislative Committee and representatives to the Federal Relations Network have a direct impact on school district budgets, employer-employee relations, and the governance authority of every school committee in the Commonwealth.

The Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) is committed to advocating for policies and legislation that strengthen public education and support school committees in their mission to provide every student with a high-quality education. MASC’s public policy priorities are determined by a vote of membership at the annual Delegate Assembly. Throughout the year, MASC staff, the Board of Directors, and the Legislative Committee collaborate to develop a strategic advocacy plan and engage with legislators, state agencies, and education stakeholders to advance these priorities.
