As associate members, public charter-school boards may access membership benefits that come with annual dues, such as those related to policy, human resources, public records, leadership, and publications. They may also purchase charter-school-employee health insurance through the OSBA Health Insurance Trust and property/casualty coverage through PACE, Property and Casualty Coverage for Education.

WELCOME from President David Beeson -- letter inviting charter school boards to join OSBA

Charter Schools May Join OSBA as Associate Members -- from the 7/21/06 Outlook & Review

HOW TO JOIN OSBA -- one mailing to OSBA should do it! 

First, official action to join OSBA must be made by your charter board during a meeting, either through a motion or resolution. Membership will be effective through July 1 of each year. 

To get the ball rolling, send the following to OSBA at P.O. Box 1068, Salem, OR 97308:

  1. Include a cover letter with a copy of your minutes, showing your board has voted to join OSBA.
  2. Enclose a check for your dues. Dues are based on your Enrollment (Average Daily Membership) of students.
  3. Enclose a list of your contact information that includes the name, mailing address, phone numbers (day and evening) and email for your head administrator and each board member. Also include the name and address of your charter school. We'll need this for our database and mailings.

Your head administrator will receive a certificate of membership upon receipt of dues.

Remember, if you have any questions we're only a phone call away -- 1-800-578-6722.
