We Are a Strong Voice for Public Education
The Oregon School Boards Association’s primary legislative goal is to serve as the collective voice for all Oregon public school boards. OSBA lobbies on behalf of its members at the Oregon State Legislature, various state-level executive department agencies, and at the local and federal level. Our team works year-round to develop and maintain strong relationships with the Governor, legislators, other public-education advocacy groups, education agencies, and Oregon’s congressional delegation.
