Workshop to Focus on Budgeting For 2010-2011
MASA and MOASBO are sponsoring an additional school finance workshop for school administrators and others responsible for district finances. The workshop is designed primarily for individuals who are newly employed in their roles, however, veterans may also find the review and information valuable. This workshop will provide assistance to school administrators as they begin the process of developing a budget for 2010-2011. The focus of the session will be on identifying key areas of concern, estimating revenues and expenses, and a general discussion of budgeting basics. The Governor’s budget recommendations for education will be reviewed.
Chris Straub, MASA school finance consultant and retired superintendent from the Jefferson City School District, will lead the session. He will be assisted by Bob Phillips, a former school business official. This workshop will be held at the Missouri Council of School Administrators Education Center in Jefferson City on February 18 and repeated on February 19. The workshop will begin at 11:30 am and will conclude by 3:00 pm. The registration fee is $40/person for the session. The registration fee includes lunch and all workshop handouts.
The workshop can be viewed live online by subscribers to the MCSA Video Library or for a $40 one-time fee. The workshop will be added to the MCSA Video Library for viewing at a later time as well.
