Member voting opens for OSBA Board positions, resolution

School board members’ voting opens Monday, Nov. 2, on who they want to represent their region on the OSBA Board of Directors.

School boards are also considering a resolution to adopt the 2021-22 legislative priorities and principles recommended by the Legislative Policy Committee.

School boards can submit their official regional ballots between Nov. 16 and Dec. 18.

The OSBA Board offers guidance for the association as it advocates for stable and adequate funding and provides local boards with support and development. OSBA Board members are elected according to regions, serving up to five two-year terms.

Local school board members decide how their board will vote as a unit for a regional candidate.

This year’s board election regions are Central (3), Southern (5), Clackamas (7), Clackamas (8, which is one-year term), Douglas/South Coast (9), Marion (11), Yamhill/Polk (13), Washington (15) and Multnomah (17 and 19). Elected members take office Jan. 1.
