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/BOB coach must join or renew NCSLMA membership before completing the compliance form, in order to access the form on the NCSLMA website. New to NCSLMA members who join/pay from August 1-December 1 will have their membership automatically extended to include the next year.

The compliance form will appear as an event beginning October 1st.  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 compliance form event deadline is December 1st.  Here is a video that will help you find the form.  

After December 1, a $25 late fee will be associated with this event.  The final deadline to complete the BOB compliance form with a late fee will be December 15th.
