Legislative Roadshow Is Back!
The Oregon School Boards Association has turned a page in the last year with leadership transitions, improving and better communicating the valued services OSBA provides to members, and laying the groundwork for a successful 2025 legislative session. OSBA leaders and our legislative team will be hitting the road again to speak directly with our members and build momentum for the 2025 legislative session.
With federal emergency funds coming to an end, pressures from inflation and collective bargaining process, and increased student needs, OSBA is laser-focused on securing the resources schools need as the state crafts its budget in 2025. Our team is excited to share the progress we have made in the State School Fund Current Service Level calculation as well as other funding conversations.
During our roadshow regional meetings, please come prepared to engage with board members from across your region. It is one of the few times of the year we all come together, share a meal, and think about the future. It is critical that we work collectively to strengthen our grassroots capacity for board members to engage in funding advocacy with legislators and state policy makers. Our team will also be ready to share updates on OSBA and, most importantly, hear from you on what matters most and how we can help.
