What’s New
OSBA Legislative Roadshow
Legislative Roadshow is back! 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.
2024 OSBA/COSA Legislative Report
The annual report offers a comprehensive rundown of 2024 Oregon legislation that will affect students, educators and public schools.
Resources for Implementing School Board Stipends
Oregon law now allows school board members to be paid up to $500 per month. OSBA has information to help boards implement the stipends.
Upcoming Events
OSBA Legislative Roadshow
Sept. 30-Nov. 7, 2024
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.
OSBA Annual Convention
Nov. 7-9, 2024
The OSBA Annual Convention is Oregon’s premier continuing education program — delivering practical solutions to help school boards and their superintendents improve student learning and achievement. Whether you are a veteran board member, a superintendent, a board support professional or a first-time attendee, you’ll leave the conference with practical ideas and a renewed commitment to help your board accomplish the critical work ahead. The convention features some of the “best practices” from school boards across the state.
