Beginnings:

We were formed out of the experience of local leaders from County Board of (MR)DD locals in the mid 70’s and early 80’s when our separate local associations formed, began bargaining and striking for pay and working conditions.  Early OEA Task Forces worked to help OEA understand the differences in administrative rules and finance and between the county boards and local school districts. 

In 2018, as County DD programs continued to be phased out and privatized, students with DD have joined their peers with special needs in the local school districts.  OADDP leadership recognized the need for change and in March 2018, at its annual meeting and conference, members amended the C&B and Mission Statement to focus on the needs of all OEA members serving individuals with special needs.

 OASNP Leadership:

We have been local presidents, treasurers, bargainers, grievance chairs, newsletter editors; served on UniServ and regional service councils; served on District boards and committees, one as a District President; served on OEA Committees and the OEA Board of Directors; attended Representative assemblies at Districts, OEA, and NEA.
