Buckeye Association of School Administrators (BASA), an incorporated non-profit
organization established in 1969 to serve the needs of Ohio superintendents, is an
association of individual members focused on the advancement of public educa-
tion. To serve its members, BASA offers a variety of programs and services. BASA’s
services are divided generally into the areas of legislative, professional growth and
development, communications and public relations, and member orientation. In
addition, BASA offers legal assistance, member advocacy, counseling, and strate-
gic planning assistance. BASA expresses the concerns and needs of its members
in the legislative arena at the statehouse and Department of Education. BASA is a
charter member of the American Association of School Administrators and works
closely with other professional education-related associations and organizations.
Membership includes superintendents, assistant superintendents, directors, build-
ing level-administrators, department heads, state department personnel, university
professors, graduate students, and service members. Approximately 95 percent of
eligible chief school administrators in Ohio are members of BASA.
