WHY ...

• Both new and veteran school board members must have a fundamental understanding of school finance. Superintendents, business managers, and bookkeepers are required to have a deep and comprehensive understanding of finance because taxpayers and citizens are asking districts to provide more detailed information about their finances. This workshop will feature Carl Dietz and Matt Fisher, two school finance experts, who will structure the presentation around all aspects of the school district finance.
  
• The Budget & Finance Workshops will run 4:30 to 8:30 PM. Topics will include: Understanding TEEOSA and other forms of state aid; Restrictions placed on school finances; Levy limits; Budget Authority; Revenue Cap; Joint Public Hearing; Importance of cash reserves; Having a long term financial plan and a capital replacement schedule; Discussion of financial information that should be provided to board members and the community, including samples and legal posting requirements for board meeting notices, financial reports and minutes; and the budgeting process is not a ‘one and done’ activity, rather it’s something that needs to be discussed throughout the entire year.
  
• The Amplified Finance Workshop (March 27) will run from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Topics will include: Review all of the funds; Understanding TEEOSA, Foundation aid, and other forms of state funding; Impact on equalized and nonequalized districts; Perform a detailed NDE budget for all funds; Prepare a line item budget for all receipts and expenses; How to prepare a five-year projection of receipts, expenses, and cash balance; Payroll preparation; Building a capital replacement schedule; How to build a cost group spending comparability spreadsheet; Impact of financial restrictions such as the Joint Public Hearings, Budget; and Authority, and Revenue Caps.
