Why Texas Association of School Boards (TASB)

We come from humble beginnings — picture a one-person organization created in 1949 to advocate for excellence in public education on behalf of Texas school board members. Flash forward to today, and we have over 500 employees working together to provide 1,024 school districts with purposeful resources so they can focus on what matters most — excellent and equitable education for all 5.4 million Texas students. 

TASB offers competitive pay, rich benefits (including retirement matching of 2:1 up to 5% after one year. This means that if you contribute 5% to the plan, TASB will contribute 10%), onsite daycare, onsite gym, wellness program, tuition reimbursement, remote work options, flexible schedules, and more. 

Every role at TASB thoughtfully complements our mission and the educational impact being made in communities across Texas. If you consider your work exceptional and want to help drive our mission forward, keep reading!

About The HR Services Division

For 40 years, HR Services has provided consulting services, training and development, and resources to educational entities, Texas school leaders, and human resources administrators and staff. We’re looking to meet the needs of Texas school districts, regional service centers, and community colleges by hiring three consultants to fill vacancies due to retirements. These are remote positions, but candidates must reside in Texas and be able to travel frequently within Texas.

Well-qualified candidates typically start at (or around) $85,000
