Responding to cost concerns among small school districts, OSBA now offers a policy service package for districts with under 300 ADMw.

“We’ve compiled all the latest policies and procedures specific to very small districts at a cost break,” says OSBA Policy Services Director Joe Wehrli. While OSBA policy services are based on ADMw, the cost of comprehensive policy services can still reach several thousand dollars, he noted.

The new $1,500 package includes these services for one year:

• A sample policy manual of all required and recommended OSBA policies for small districts.
• OSBA’s quarterly Policy Update subscription.
• One on-site workshop/meeting with an OSBA policy specialist for your staff.
• Unlimited phone support during your contract.
• Two bound manuals and a CD of your final board-adopted policies.

Wehrli can discuss additional services and costs, such as online policy manuals hosted on OSBA’s Web site and manual maintenance. E-mail Joe or call 800-578-6722.
