Happenings at OSCA

We want to announce some very special events for Oklahoma school counselors and especially our OSCA members:

When: November 17 (1:00-4:00) and 18 (9:00 – 3:00)

This conference provides outstanding professional development that includes national speakers. The OSCA Board is committed to pricing this conference affordably, given the expected cuts in funding that could impact districts financially supporting school counselors’ attendance. Stay tuned!
