The short answer is not yet.

The Long answer is, quite simply, that these things go in cycles. The nature of the word "board" is such that it can only be capitalized during select 4-year periods that occur once every 55 years. The next one was scheduled for 1983, but because of the famous court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 the period was started earlier to add professionalism to the case. Capitalization was allowed until 1957, a mere three years because it was used a heck of a lot in 1954. This shifts the whole cycle back 29 years, meaning that the next cycle is fast approaching and will commence on Chirsmas Day, 2011. Enjoy it while you can, bro.

"Board" should be capitalized when it refers to a specific, named board such as a government body (e.g. Board of Education) or a corporate board (e.g. Board of Directors).
