Information

2023-2024 Compliance Information

The School-Level BOB Compliance form must be completed and submitted by each school participating in any level of BOB competition each year.  The school media coordinator must join or renew NCSLMA membership BEFORE being allowed to fill out this form.  

The compliance form will appear as an event beginning Nov. 1.  You will need to "register" for the event to answer the compliance questions.  You will not see the compliance form event if you are not a current member and logged in to your account.  The event will remain open until Dec. 1.  Here is a video that will help you find the form.  

After December 1, a new event will open and there will be a $25 late fee associated with this event.  Please spread the word about getting the compliance form completed prior to December 1 to avoid the late fee. 

Questions? Contact your HBOB Regional Coordinator listed below. 

We would like to have one coordinator and two representatives from each region, so please consider joining the committee.

For questions or to join the committee, contact HBOB Chair Rachel McConoughey at hbobchair@ncslma.org
