Each of Ohio's public school boards should appoint one member, at the January organizational meeting, to serve as their district's student achievement liaison. (Each school district should inform OSBA of the appointment, as soon as possible. This appointment should be reflected on the OSBA roster form.) The student achievement liaisons are a vital part of OSBA's Student Achievement Initiative as the links between individual school boards and the Student Achievement Leadership Team (SALT). Each student achievement liaison has four main objectives:

1. To share, at least on a monthly basis, information about ways to improve student achievement with their fellow board members;
2. To encourage their school board colleagues to focus on improving student achievement;
3. To establish and maintain relationships with their academic booster groups and;
4. To participate in SALT activities, and to encourage other board members to so as well. There are several SALT events during Capital Conference.

Furthermore, each student achievement liaison will receive Success, OSBA's monthly SALT newsletter. Success is distributed only to student achievement liaison and liaison's are encouraged to share the information with fellow board members and administrative staff.
