We look forward to a much warmer season of risk management. In this season and the next, PACE continues to partner with OAESD to support school risk management efforts so Oregon’s students can benefit from a safe and secure learning environment.
|
As your organization prepares for summer, PACE is here to remind you of the many ways we can partner with our ESD members to reduce your property and liability exposures. One of the simplest ways your ESD can access these services is by connecting directly with your PACE Risk Management Consultant. Your consultant is happy to connect with services ranging from risk management advice to webinars, checklists, and Quick Reference Guides.
|
Perhaps one of the best ways you can take advantage of PACE services is by scheduling a facility walkthrough. Complimentary with your PACE membership, this service is a great way to actively identify and cut your losses. During one of these voluntary consultations, your assigned Risk Management Consultant will meet you at your facility and walk the premises with you to help you identify and address risk exposures.
|
In a risk manager’s toolbelt, facility walkthroughs are one of the most effective tools for proactive risk management and are essential to cultivating a safe school environment. Walkthroughs present a valuable opportunity to find expected and unexpected risks as they occur, as well as send a clear message that, at your buildings, safety is a priority.
|
Managing risks can seem like a daunting, uphill battle, but the risk management experts at PACE are here to help. From walkthroughs to trainings, we’re here to provide the tools you need so you can get back to doing what matters most – educating Oregon’s students.
|

Celebration of Dr. Ozzie Rose, OAESD Director of Government Relations
|
|
|
It is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of Ozzie Rose, OAESD Director of Government Relations. After more than 50 years of dedicated service in education, Ozzie has decided to embark on a well-deserved retirement journey.
|
Ozzie has been an integral part of our OAESD team. Throughout his tenure, he has led change for Oregon education for the better. Ozzie has been a wonderful colleague and friend to all of us. We are immensely grateful for Ozzie’s contributions to our organization and the impact he has had on our success. While we will miss him dearly, we are excited for his next chapter and wish all the best in retirement. We also know he is just a phone call away!
|
OAESD was grateful for the opportunity we had to celebrate Ozzie during the Spring Conference Banquet. For those who would like to share memories or send personal messages, we encourage you to reach out to Ozzie at ozzierose@comcast.net.
|
|
Thank you, Ozzie, for your many years of hard work, dedication, and friendship. You will always be a cherished member of the OAESD family.
