State Legislative Conference

Public education continues to be a hot topic at the Statehouse as we face yet another challenging year. This year’s State Legislative Conference will be held on Tuesday, March 19 at the Sheraton Columbus at Capitol Square in downtown Columbus across from the Statehouse. The conference is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The 2019 State Legislative Conference provides school board members, administrators and treasurerswith a great venue tomeet with their state legislators and discuss issues impacting public education. It is a golden opportunity to get the message out on the importance of investing in a strong public school system and putting a local face on these issues. During themorning session, school district leaders will hear briefings on proposed legislation which can be used in discussions with their legislators later that day. Attendees will also hear from legislative leaders about their respective views on public education and other legislative priorities. Attendees are urged to schedule office appointments to meet individually with their legislators and their aides following the luncheon, which concludes at 1 p.m. We also urge you to extend a personal invitation for your legislator to join you at the luncheon. The cost of the conference is $145. You can register on the OSBA website at www. ohioschoolboards.org or by contacting Laurie Miller at 1-800-589-OSBA.
