Regional school‑board candidate urges support for OSBA ballot access
Summary
Satya Chandiguri, introduced at public comment, asked Cascade trustees to support a colleague’s placement on the Oregon School Boards Association ballot and argued for stronger representation of small districts at OSBA.
During public comment, Satya Chandiguri introduced herself as a psychiatrist and Marion‑Region school‑board member and asked Cascade trustees to support her colleague Karina Guzman Ortiz or to at least include more choices on the OSBA ballot. Chandiguri described experience working across rural counties and urged greater OSBA attention to small‑district challenges and costs.
She said small districts need better representation when OSBA sets policy and that restricted funding limits local innovation, citing pouches and cell‑phone implementation as an example of costs that could be redirected to instructional programs. Board members asked for clarification about OSBA procedures and staff provided a short overview of the association’s role and regional representation process.
