PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS BuyBoard is member-governed by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). They have 11 members on their board of directors, most which are purchasing professionals that represent members of schools, cities, and counties. They govern the cooperative and award contracts to vendors through a bid solicitation.
