North Santiam School Board member Tass Morrison is serving as the President of the Oregon School Boards Association for 2019.
The OSBA is dedicated to improving student success and education equity through advocacy, leadership and service to Oregon public school boards. She has been on the OSBA Board of Directors since 2012.
Morrison has served on the North Santiam School District Board since 2006. She has provided leadership as both Chair and Vice Chair.
She also served on the Stayton Public Library Foundation Board from 2003-2012. In addition, Morrison served on the Stayton Sublimity Chamber of Commerce Board, including as President.
Asked why she continues to serve, she said, “If you have something to contribute – step up and do something. Especially in education. It is imperative that we give what we can so that our students can also contribute. I want to help improve the lives of people. Schools are where we can make a difference.”
NSSD Superintendent Andy Gardner said, “Tass has been an incredibly important member of the NSSD School Board. She is constantly learning about best practices for board members as well as schools. She is a great representative for our district in both our local communities as well as with board members from across the state.”
