A School Business Official’s Guide to Board Policy

When school business questions come up, board policy should be your go-to resource — not a document you only open when there’s a problem. This collaborative webinar from TASB Policy Service and TASBO shows school business officials how to use the board policy manual as a practical, everyday decision-making tool.

The session will take a focused look at Section C policies that impact finance and operations, including fiscal management, budgeting, and purchasing. Participants will explore real-world policy applications related to fund balance, capitalization thresholds, and micro-purchase thresholds, with an emphasis on clarity, consistency, and compliance.

Presented by Carolyn Austin, Assistant Director for TASB Policy Service, and Kristi Clark, TASBO Chief Policy Officer, this session provides actionable insight you can apply immediately to your daily work.

If you have questions you’d like us to consider ahead of time, submit them through this survey by March 27. This allows our team to research your questions in advance, and we’ll still include dedicated time for a live Q&A.
