Ohio School Boards Association

The Ohio School Boards Association, alsoknown as OSBA, is a statewide association representing school boards across Ohio. It provides resources and services to hundreds of school districts throughout the state. The association offers resources and services intended to support member school districts. OSBA operates with a staff of fifty employees who serve thousands of individual members. Its headquarters is located in the United States of America. OSBA is an association that serves the interests of its member school boards.

On August 8, 2024, OSBA experienced a network breach that disrupted its website and email systems. The interruption hindered communication with members during a critical period near the start of the academic year. The association confirmed that there was no evidence of compromised sensitive data such as social security numbers or financial information, noting that such details are not typically stored. No ransom demand was associated with the incident, and external forensic experts were engaged to investigate the breach. Investigators have not confirmed any connection between this attack and a separate breach targeting a major city. The ongoing operational challenges affect the association’s employees and the broad membership they serve.
