Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the "Amendment") updates information disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2011 (the "Original 8-K") relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Blackboard Inc. (the "Company") held on June 3, 2011 (the "Annual Meeting"). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation.

As previously disclosed in the Original Company’s Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2011, at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders indicated, on an advisory basis, that their preferred frequency for holding future advisory votes on executive compensation was the Company's shareholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year. Based on these results, the Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold advisory votes on executive compensation every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation occurs or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for advisory votes on executive compensation is in the best interests of the shareholders.
