As the only risk pool designed especially for Oregon education organizations, PACE offers services customized to meet the unique needs of public education organizations in Oregon.
Advantages
Saves you money by providing free and low-cost assistance to reduce risk and get help before problems happen.
Saves you time by providing pre-selected services that don't require contract bidding or extensive hours researching vendors.
Despite our best planning, challenges arise daily for Oregon’s school districts, education service districts and community colleges. Sometimes those challenges turn into a crisis, requiring fast and accurate communications with your audience. PACE is here to help. Every year, our trained communications professionals assist dozens of school and community college leaders in getting through difficult circumstances – from gun incidents to criminal charges filed against staff members to heartbreaking tragedies such as suicide. We coordinate with PACE legal staff to assure that our messages are in keeping with legal requirements. Contact OSBA Communications Director Alex Pulaski at apulaski@osba.org
