Professional Certification Program 

School business is a very complex and demanding profession requiring a special set of knowledge, skills, and abilities.  It is incumbent upon us to ensure that those who follow us have the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities. To that end, the Board of Directors of the Florida Association of School Business Officials (FASBO) has embarked on the creation of a Professional Certification Program.

Although Florida is the fourth largest state in the nation, it is one of nineteen states with no certification or credentialing requirements. The Florida School Finance Council has recognized this emerging issue.  It is the feeling of the Council that certification or credentialing will benefit individual school districts and the statewide education system as it will address recruitment and retention issues, cultivate talent internally, encourage best practices, and build a cadre of professional school business leaders and staff members. As technology advances, an increased need for training at the clerical and paraprofessional is also becoming more apparent.

Recognizing the importance of attaining professionalism for school business officials, not only with regard to acquired knowledge and experience, but also in terms of the recognition and respect of peers and other professionals, FASBO’s Board of Directors established its Professional Certification Program in 2009.

The Program offers both acknowledgment and recognition for professionals at all levels of school business management. Certification is a way of recognizing those individuals with the background, training, and on-the-job experience to meet recognized standards of professional competence.

Schools Should Open This Fall, Trump Asserts
President Trump has been quick to overrule Dr. Anthony Fauci telling senators that there’s "no easy answer on whether schools can reopen this fall." Speaking to the governors of Colorado and North Dakota at the White House, the President said Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, did not give an “acceptable answer” to the Senate committee hearing in which he offered a much starker outlook on the coronavirus than that offered by Trump himself. “I think you should absolutely open the schools. I don’t consider our country coming back if the schools are closed," the president asserted. The President’s comments came as health officials in New York were investigating more than 100 cases of a rare and dangerous inflammatory syndrome that afflicts children and appears to be connected to the virus.
