Election Center
The Oregon School Boards Association is organized as one general state association with up to 24 regionally elected representatives established across 14 geographic regions to support member participation and representation.
In even-numbered years member boards vote to elect regional representatives for odd-numbered positions on the OSBA Board of Directors, and to approve the OSBA Legislative Priorities and Principles.
