Parkrose board backs OSBA nominations, approves dues increase and Pride caucus
Summary
The Parkrose School Board voted to support two OSBA board nominations and approved amendments including an OSBA dues increase, creation of an OSBA Pride Caucus (and seat), and proposed bylaws changes; the board also approved its internal board goals.
At its meeting, the Parkrose School District 3 board voted on several Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA) items and on its own annual goals.
The board moved and approved support for Katrina Dowdy for OSBA director (position No. 17) and for Jose (named in the record as “Jose Camaro Gorgerson” / “Jose Gamairez”) for OSBA director (position No. 19). Both nominations were approved by voice vote after brief board statements of support.
The board approved amending the OSBA dues schedule, a change described by a board member as a phased increase intended to sustain OSBA services. The resolution summarized in the meeting materials would implement a 15% annual increase for five consecutive years beginning in the 2025–26 cycle, with future annual adjustments tied to CPI thereafter.
The board also voted to create an OSBA Pride Caucus and designate a seat on the OSBA board of directors, and it approved proposed bylaws amendments necessary to implement caucus seats and related governance changes. All motions were adopted by voice vote; the meeting minutes record board members saying “aye.”
Finally, the board approved its board goals for the coming year as presented.
Motions and approvals were made during the action-items portion of the meeting; the board did not debate each resolution at length during the meeting but discussed the rationale and the broader OSBA convention context during earlier agenda items.
