SUMMARY:Funding the Promise: School Finance Leadership for New Superintendents (Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:Funding the Promise: School Finance Leadership for New Superintendents\, developed jointly by TASA and the Texas Association of School Business Officials (TASBO)\, is a series that begins with Kicking Off the Budget Adoption Process\, a TASA Midwinter Conference pre-conference session. \nOur guiding principle is simple: We don’t plan a budget; we budget a plan. This practical session will connect the technical aspects of school finance with the leadership needed to align resources\, evaluate options\, and make informed recommendations to your board. Whether you perform financial calculations yourself or oversee a business office\, the session will strengthen your ability to ask the right questions and lead the budget-development process with confidence. \nDuring Session 1\, Kicking Off the Budget Adoption Process\, we will address: \n\nYour district’s financial health: Review FY 2026 closing results\, update FY 2027 projections\, and examine fund balance\, cash flow\, and potential course corrections.\nExpectations for the FY 2028 budget: Connect district mission\, vision\, and board goals to campus and departmental budget expectations.\nBudget tradeoffs: Consider how financial choices affect students\, employees\, district priorities\, and long-term financial stability.\nThe budget calendar: Identify key decisions and sequence the analysis\, conversations\, and board discussions needed for adoption.\n\nThe afternoon session is designed to work in tandem with the School Finance Template Boot Camp presented by TASBO that same morning. The boot camp focuses on understanding and calculating state revenue; this afternoon session builds on that foundation to assess your district’s financial position and launch a purposeful budget-development process. \nWhen and Where\n1–4 p.m.\nSunday\, January 24\, 2027\nHenry B.
