Policy Services

Policy services helps develop quality board policy

Establishing and maintaining effective, clearly written policies are among a board’s foremost responsibilities. Current policies are essential to good management. Board policies serve as a guide to staff as they develop administrative regulations. Policies are also important tools in the decision-making process.

Supporting board policy development is a primary mission of OSBA. Our services include policy drafting and maintenance that meet legal requirements and your specific needs.
