The Urban Network is the premier advisory voice to OSBA, dedicated to helping urban school boards of education effectively prepare all students to be globally competitive and successful in college and/or career. By sharing ideas and best practices, we ensure that all urban school districts benefit. We invite any and all staff in the district to participate in the conversation.
