- PERS Reform:
FixPersNow.org — OBA is part of a coalition of business & education organizations working towards real and meaningful PERS reform that is critical for Oregon schools.
Oregon Business Plan – Next year alone, the increased costs to Oregon school districts to fund the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) will be $200 million. That’s the equivalent of 2,224 teachers. Unless we reform PERS now, increased PERS costs will continue for the next decade.
