Welcome to the 2026 CSBA Counties Conference!

This conference provides a unique opportunity for county board leaders to come together and discuss students’ futures in light of domestic policies and global trends. County board members, superintendents and educational partners from throughout the state will come together to gain valuable knowledge and information in three key areas: advocacy, governance and policy; funding, workforce and educational access; student well-being, safety and success.

As the role of county offices of education (COEs) continues to evolve, CSBA is committed to providing COE board members with the necessary tools and information to become effective elected education leaders. The program will feature member-led workshops, micro-trainings, networking opportunities, and more—offering attendees practical strategies, peer-driven insights, and ample chances to connect and collaborate with colleagues from across California. It is a must-attend event for county board leaders!

Supporting Every Student After Mirabelli and Mahmoud

Sunday September 27, 2026 8:45am - 9:50am PDT

Malibu/Santa Monica, Lower Level

Breakout session (attend one per session time).

As legal and policy debates surrounding parental rights, student privacy and student support services continue to evolve, county boards and educational leaders face increasing challenges in balancing legal compliance, student well-being and community expectations. This session will examine the practical implications of recent court decisions, including Mirabelli v. Bonta and Mahmoud v. Taylor, and their impact on policies, communication practices, and student support systems. Through real-world examples and lessons learned from local educational agencies, presenters will share governance considerations, policy insights and practical strategies for supporting students and families while navigating an evolving legal landscape.
