Are you taking advantage of the seminars and workshops offered by OSBA? The legal division is planning several workshops and seminars this fall, and we’d love to see you in attendance. Here are the upcoming workshops:

Attendance, Tuition and Custody Law – August 5, 2016

Attendance and tuition matters are complex, and the laws addressing them change frequently. How your district handles these matters affects your district’s bottom line. Learn the latest legal developments at this information-packed seminar. The seminar will take place at the Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center. This year’s agenda includes an "ask the panel" discussion where attendees are encouraged to submit their custody and enrollment questions in advance to be addressed by panelists.
