Why Texas Association of School Boards (TASB)

TASB comes 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 and services so they can focus on what matters most — excellent education for over 5 million Texas students.

Our employees work alongside talented team members who are passionate about supporting public education and enjoy learning from new and different perspectives. TASB believes the rich variety of expertise our employees collectively bring to the workplace makes our organization highly successful. And TASB’s passion for education and learning doesn’t end there. Our culture has always encouraged employees to grow and become their best selves, professionally and personally, through a variety of innovative and collaborative development opportunities. You’re likely beginning to see why we’d been regularly named by the Austin Business Journal as one of the Top Ten Best Places to Work!

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

Every role at TASB thoughtfully complements our mission and its impact on school districts across Texas. These roles include work in TASB’s Risk Management Services division, which provides administrative services to the TASB Risk Management Fund – a multi-line self-insurance pool (or “risk pool”) of Texas schools. If you consider your work exceptional, have a passion for risk management or risk pools, and want to help drive our mission forward, keep reading!
