Webinar registration is $50 per credit hour for OSSBA members, and $100 per credit hour for nonmembers. Each registration is valid for one computer. Multiple people may share a computer to watch, but each school board member who needs board credit must have an individual registration.
Live webinars begin at noon, and registration must be completed one hour before the webinar begins.
