Sheridan board approves OSBA bylaw changes, raises dues schedule and nominates regional representative
Summary
The Sheridan School Board voted to approve three OSBA resolutions (dues-schedule increase, creation of a caucus seat for the Oregon LGBTQIA caucus, and broader bylaw amendments) and nominated Craig Albright as the regional OSBA representative; the recorded votes were unanimous in the board roll calls provided (resolutions passed 4-0).
The board considered several agenda actions regarding the Oregon School Boards Association (OSBA). After discussion, the board nominated Craig Albright (Dayton School District) as the regional representative to the OSBA board of directors; the chair said the motion passed (vote details not specified in the transcript).
The board reviewed an OSBA resolution to amend the dues schedule and discussed the financial impact. Board materials show the district pays at a member level (about $1,420 per year based on enrollment), and the proposed schedule would phase dues increases toward a floor of $1,500 over several years. The board moved, seconded and voted to approve the OSBA dues-schedule resolution; the chair recorded the motion as passing 4—0.
The board then considered an OSBA resolution to add a seat reserved for the Oregon LGBTQIA caucus on the OSBA board of directors. After motion and second, the board approved that resolution (vote recorded as 4—0).
Finally, the board approved a longer set of substantial bylaw changes (described in the packet as 17 pages of edits clarifying caucus fiscal reporting, conflicts-of-interest compliance, and director allowances). The motion to approve the OSBA bylaw amendments carried on a 4—0 vote.
