OSBA's communication services include:

• PR in Action
  OSBA's unique subscription service provides quality materials to help boards and districts do a better job communicating.
• Audits
  This service ranges from a comprehensive look at the entire spectrum of a district's public relations activities to an examination of just one aspect of a district's communications.
• Community Survey Assistance and Analysis
  OSBA staff will work with your district to identify the most appropriate survey method, help identify issues to cover in a survey questionnaire, put you in touch with survey firms who can conduct telephone surveys and help your district use the survey results.
• Focus Groups
  This method of "organized listening" can help you put your finger on the pulse of your community. You will discover the perceptions community groups have about your district and better understand how to address specific issues, e.g. budget priorities for school improvement.
• Contract Services
  Districts can contract with OSBA for regular communications services or special projects. Our staff will work with you to help you develop a communications plan and provide a contract employee, screened and supervised by us, to do the work. Such contract services could include staff or community newsletters, other district publications or media relations.
