On November 21, 2021, the Virginia Schools Boards Association took a vote to end its membership with the National School Boards Association.

Corey DeAngelis, the National Director of Research at the American Federation for Children, tweeted about this development and noted that in light of this move in Virginia “26 state school boards associations have now distanced themselves from the National School Boards Association.”

DeAngelis added, “15 of those states (purple) have discontinued membership, participation, and/or dues because of the NSBA’s actions.”
