  • 2011 Leadership Oregon graduates

18 graduate from OSBA's advanced class in school board leadership

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

On May 16, 18 school board members from around the state completed OSBA's advanced board leadership training, Leadership Oregon. Over the past five months, they have participated in four two-day workshops in Salem which dealt with all facets of school leadership. The program brings together school board members from all over Oregon for comprehensive, specialized workshops to build their understanding of school issues, advocacy, decision-making and communication and to provide an expanded support network for local school leaders.

It signals you are serious about learning what it takes to be outstanding leaders in your schools and communities,” Kevin McCann, OSBA executive director, told the graduates. “As school board members, you each have a huge role in setting policy and making sure all students are getting a good education. It’s complex and important work.”

The Oregon School Boards Association offered this advanced leadership class at no cost to school districts.
