Oregon School Boards Association

In recent years, the residents of Lane County have witnessed what some have perceived to be significant errors of governance. City Club of Eugene hosts a timely program, “Effective Public Governance Boards,” focused on a discussion of the principles of effective public board governance.

The Oregon Government Ethics Commission has issued an opinion stating it is a conflict of interest for school boards to vote to give members stipends.

Across Oregon, school boards are looking into providing stipends for their members. But an education organization is urging a pause on the matter.
