21st Annual School Safety Conference
July 28 - 31, 2025
 
Updated Conference Info Coming Soon... 
 
As 2024 draws to a close, your OSROA board is working diligently to put together the 2025 School Safety Conference. We plan to announce our hotel partners and rates in January, with conference registration opening up soon after that. Right around that time we will begin updating this page with current information. For what it's worth, our 21st annual conference will look quite a bit like our 20th. Different presenters and topics of course. Similar schedule, although in 2025 we are scheduled Monday through Thursday instead of our usual Sunday through Wednesday. Also, there will be several breakout session offered next year. Updated info to come...
 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from OSROA
