Fall Regional Meetings Are Back!
The federal and state focus on school district governance has significantly changed school board members’ responsibilities. At the same time, Oregon is headed toward a long legislative session in 2027 that will take a serious look at public education funding. It’s a lot to process, and OSBA’s experts are doing the heavy lifting for you. We are coming to you for in-person fall meetings to discuss what it all means, answer your questions, and listen to your concerns.
OSBA is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year with the knowledge that as school board members’ responsibilities have grown, so too has our ability to serve you. We invite you to take a moment to review the schedule below and for more information about this year’s
