What is e-tools for boards and districts?
IASB offers this fee-based service (annual subscription plus a nominal one-time setup fee) to promote communication and interaction among school board members, administrators and the public they serve. This online service assists with agenda preparation, document management and archives, and electronic board packets.

Unlike similar services available from other vendors, this service is supported by your school board association and at considerable savings.

Training is provided with online seminars and printed brochures.
